Mathura, India. 15th May, 2015. The roughly kept beards, unruly and unkempt hair, smoking chillums (Marijuana) is the identity of Sadhus in India. A sadhu is a mystic, an ascetic, the one who knows all and is liberated from the materialistic world of humans. He is a wandering monk whose singular goal in life is to achieve 'moksha' and he gets it through tough penance and uncommon lifestyle. © Shashi Sharma/Pacific Press/Alamy Live News
