Photographer's Note

*Sometimes A Statue Also Needs Money*

.
A sadhu in Kedarnath Temple decorated with ash and a minimum clothing in such cold weather (app 1°C)...

He has also a need of some money for living... Hope you can notice the hand with some money from the right side of the frame.

Dear Subhendu,

Wow, it must be cold for him...I came across some of them at the Pashupatinath Temple, but although it was the end of winter, it wasn't cold in the afternoons when the sun is shinning.

TFS,
May

Hello Subhendy,
Wearing clothes like these, and maybe not being in the very best health, at 1 °C sounds dangerous. I hope you were better dressed. You took a fine photo with a lot of interesting details (including that hand) and superb light and colours.
Best regards,
Gert

greetings, subhendu ~

a colorful, but difficult and uncomfortable life, i'm shivering just looking at this guy.
the gloved hand offering money tells the story of poverty, cold and begging very well, a good choice to include it anonymously, without a body attached.

another great detail you have captured and included is the figure in the alcove to the left behind the sadhu ~ it seems to mimic and mirror the sadhu's body language.

nicely seen, congratulations!
