EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a truly unique sight in the bustling streets of Puri, India. In the frame stands a holy man, known for his eccentric behavior of running up and down the street while barking like a dog. The image was taken by an English photographer in the 20th century and is now part of a private collection. The holy man's religious devotion manifests itself in this bizarre display, captivating both locals and visitors alike. His presence adds an air of mysticism to the vibrant Indian culture that surrounds him. Clutching onto his walking stick, he stands as a portrait of faith amidst the chaos. This photograph was featured as an illustration for Lowell Thomas' book "India, Land of the Black Pagoda" published in 1931. Alongside other photographs taken by H A Chase and Thomas himself, it offers readers a glimpse into India's rich cultural tapestry. As we gaze upon this image captured decades ago, we are reminded that travel allows us to witness extraordinary sights such as these - moments that challenge our understanding and broaden our perspectives on religion, spirituality, and human expression. This photo serves as a testament to how diverse traditions can intertwine with everyday life in unexpected ways across different corners of our world.
