Malang

Khalid.Amin has added a photo to the pool:

A man with this get-up is called Malang in India and Pakistan. Some people believe that these Malangs are spiritual figures, others don't believe. But the type of Malang in this photo is (I think) not a spiritual one. He is carrying some pots containing dry herbs and other stuff, and these herbs emit fragrance when set on fire (although I never feel this fragrance). This Malang waves a hand-fan to spread the smoke in shops, and in return the people (usually shopkeepers) give him some money.

I spot this Malang in a Sunday Bazar in Karachi. He was delighted when I pointed my 500D towards him, ge have a good pose and a smile. Thank you Mr. Malang !
