Two young Vaishnava sadhus with colorful
tilakas, or forehead markings, inside the Pashupatinath Temple complex.
The adornment of powdered paint is unique to each Sadhu and a sign of the
Hindu Triad that he is a part of. Renouncing his birth family for one of
the Hindu Triads, he adopts either Vishnu, Brahama or Shiva as his new family.
