    My Scholarship entry - ascetic life in varanasi- 10th March 2013

    ASCETICS ENJOYING THE DAY.Ascetics spend their day doing penances and worshipping Lord Shiva, the Diety of this place.They live on flesh,liqour,tobacco smoking,ganja,etc.They keep themselves nude and smear their body with Ash throughout the year irrespective of the climate.Once in 12 years they have interaction with public/ outside world.It is interesting that one foreigner lady has given currency to one of the ascetic for whom this wordly possession is meaningless.The other ascetic is giving Cheelum for smoking to another ascetic inside.They enjoy life like this.
