Faces of India – 211 Sadhu from Karaikudi
Faces of India
a series through which I intend to portray the various characters of my country whom I met during my travels. I bring back souvenirs, frozen moments from my travels, why not some memories of people I have met and interacted during the travels. Faces of India is a weekly series in my blog since MARCH 2011. See more here…
Sadhus of India
A sadhu outside a temple in Karaikudi, Tamil Nadu. As I zoomed into his face his eyes seemed so sorrowful that I didn’t have the heart to continue focusing on him.
I can’t understand how people end up in this state. Is it really in a quest for peace of mind?
isharethese became my daily amazing content of India, Once i thought i should read these all the way in a go but since i am saying to me it would be great to walk along with feed provided by i sharethese on indiblogger.
Really loved these of INDIA
You've captured the emotions so well:)
Another great portrait, Indrani.
And yes, there is a lot of pain in those eyes.
Eyes says a lot ! beautiful capture Indrani ji
Interesting one Indrani ..
Do I see a tinge of sadness in his eyes? Expression well captured Indtrani.
Wow! Photography is one of my many hobbies. And, I always believed that a person should be able to augment the pix with a fitting description. This is an awesome pic and beautifully described!
You are very talented, Indrani!
Yes Indrani…. Even I can the grief in his eyes.
A wonderful portrait that can launch a thousand tales!!
That's a splendid capture In! 🙂
Indrani, to my mind his eyes express sorrow not for himself but for what he sees in the world around him
Nicely captured! 🙂
I think a holy life is very foreign to most of us, totally opposite to a quest for greed like most people (at least in North America).
Very moving portrait.
Great expression in this beautiful portrait!
Nice picture
Don;t know where life leads…
A good question.Many are mendicants in ochre robe preying on the piety and compassion of pilgrims at the temples.There can be a few spiritual seekers who generally do not beg.
hum… eyes coveys a lot!
Great captured
Oh, Indrani!! So much sorrow, pain, anguish?? Whatever, it is SO present there in his eyes!! I can understand your being unable to continue focusing on him!! I would have felt the same way!!
he has a great weathered face.
