more Pashupat - a different side

After watching the cremation process, we walked amoung the pagodas, and up a hill to see the Yogis.
One of them was over 100 years old, and as I stopped to take a picture with him, he wrapped his ancient dreadlocks around my neck. Don't be fooled by my smile - I was freaking out when he put his locks on me. Don't get me wrong, I love dreadlocks, but these locks were pretty gross!

I am not really sure about the history of these Yogi's. They are followers of one of the Hindu gods - I think the elephant god, but I can't be sure. They were pretty charming - in a weird sort of way.
