Indian Sadhu

I met this man in Jaipur last year - on a murky day like today it is good to have other memories.  Oil paint on board.

In Hinduism a sādhu  (Sanskrit sādhu, "good; good man, holy man") is a religious ascetic or holy person.Although the vast majority of sādhus are yogis, not all yogīs are sādhus. The sādhu is solely dedicated to achieving moksa (liberation), the fourth and final  asrama (stage of life), through meditation and contemplation of Brahman. Sādhus often wear saffron-coloured clothing, symbolising their sannyasa (renunciation). This way of life is open to women; the female form of the word is sādhvī. In 2014, an all-female akhada (group of sadhus) was formed; it is believed to be the first such group in India.  (Wiki)
