Great and vibrant portrayal of a renunciate! One question, though: Is he a follower of Vishnu or Shiva (cannot distinguish between the different forehead-marks)?
Artist Reply: Greetings X-Chel... I honestly don't know.
I met this gentleman in Katmandu...at the most holy Hindu temple there. I talked with my yoga teacher...who is from India...and she explained that he could be a Sanyasin...or an actor... as we were required to give him an offering to take his photo. Regardless... he was such a happy man... and had so much character....
She spelled it Sanyasin... I have also seen it spelled Sannyasi
