An elderly almost-toothless Hindu holy man (sadhu) in well-worn clothing smiles for tourists in Kathmandu, Nepal, in South Asia. Among his few possessions is a metal trident, a symbol of the Hindu god Shiva. He wears saffron-colored clothing that is common to these wandering religious ascetics who are most prevalent in neighboring India.
