Sadhus, or Sanyasis, are Hindu holy men who have shunned the
comforts of home and society. They lead solitary life and appear in public
during festivals like Kumbha Mela. German banker and photographer Mario Gerth had
always cherished the dream of taking photos of these reclusive holy men. Daily
Mail UK
has published the photographs.
It must be noted here that the real Sadhus are very hard to
meet and they never interact with public. They rarely appear for participating
in religious functions. These photographs might be of Sadhus who roams around India – this is
a different class of Sadhus.
