The Postulant

New-Delhi

Unlike the Monk the postulant don't follow rules till the day he tales the Holy vows.

So he eats still from the cups offered by the devotees and is still dressed.

Shot indoors.

PS
outside they insisted to take a photo from a monk, posing naked ... to their astonishment I refused, too distractive from their religious rituals :).
