All over the towns of Rishikesh and Haridwar are the Men in Orange. These are Sadhus, people who have renounced a regular life for one dedicated to achieving spiritual liberation, partly through living a very austere life. Some are newbies (men or women who have just left their regular lives & families) and usually look relatively neat & tidy, often with pressed clothes, while others have obviously been 'on the road' for some time. As many have no money behind them, many spend part of the day begging for alms or donations. Anyway, here are some shots of a few in Rishikesh.
