This is a picture that shows great detail. Love the display of emotion in the picture. When in black and white, it looks artistic and emphasis the emotion involved even more. In the picture, he looks like he is thinking, a philosopher. Fantastic display of culture from your country.
Thanks for the information about Naga Sadhu. I’ve never heard about them until you told me. Wonderful knowledge to add on for myself.
Incredible shot! Oh to see the things he has seen. I have participated in the challenge here if you’re interested.
Absolutely stunning!
Stunning portrait !!!
Amazing
Absolutely outstanding portrait. His eyes are so deep, carry so much feeling and emotion. WOW Brilliant!

Joshi, I’m “green” (ehehe) I wish in future, take a photolike this one! perhaps, one day
I will visit you, for sure because I will learn too much, thanks 
Really beautiful image. The lighting reminds me of some Karsh Portraits – but I would have liked to see just a little more fill light on his left cheek and under eye area. Great pic though!

Excellent portrait and use of light. Well done.
Classical and exceedingly well realized..congrats!
