Spiritual Sadhu

In Hinduism, a sadhu is a common term for a renounced ascetic or practitioner of yoga who has given up pursuit of the first three Hindu goals of life: kama, artha and dharma, or pleasure, wealth, and duty. A sadhu is solely dedicated to achieving moksha, or liberation, through meditation and contemplation of God.  Throughout India and Nepal, sadhus wander here and there in search of spritual enlightenment.  I came across the path of this particular sadhu in the city center of Kathmandu near the Kumari Chowk, his mane nearly reaching the ground.
