Sadhus Spiritual Tour

Delhi - Jaipur - Agra - Khajuraho - Varanasi - Delhi (10 Nights/11 Days)

A sight peculiar to India and Hinduism is that of saffron-clad hermits with matted locks who often travel from one holy place to another with scarcely a possession in the world. Just look around you, whether you are in a major metro, a state capital, a small town or a tiny hamlet, you’ll spot a sadhu somewhere on the landscape. Their bodies smeared with ash, forehead anointed with sandalwood paste, sadhus carry all their material possessions with them: a begging or alms bowl, a wooden staff, a woolen blanket and many a rudraksha or tulsi mala around their neck or wrists. Some of them travel alone, others in small groups. Some have taken vows of silence, some can be found standing on one foot for years while others unpredictably burst into songs of religious ecstasy, especially when high on ganja (hash or grass). Others go about chanting hymns or indecipherable mantras.
