We spent some time just wandering around the Kamakhya Temple complex.
One thing that caught my eye was this holy man who was sitting there who had a constant stream of people dropping in on him and bowing at his feet.
These were actually very nice in colour except for a brilliant pink bag that he had sitting beside him. After struggling to change the look of the bag, I took the easy way out and did a B&W conversion.

Nice photos!
What are the qualifications of becoming a holy man?

Nicely done, barely any shadow. Was he sitting beneath an atrium?

So far as I can determine, there are no qualifications. You just decide to become one.
