The wandering holy men. Having renounced their worldly life and possessions, they make pilgrimages across the country. Social outcasts, they are often seen in their own groups, mostly stoned. The only way to get close to them is when they are on a journey-boats or trains. More than religion, poverty drives many of them to this life. There are exceptions. They are learned and can hold up a debate on world policies. It's a different life. A different world. It does have colours but this one, I thought needed none.
