EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of a Fakeer, or religious beggar, humbly requesting alms from the public in the bustling streets of Pune (Poona), India, circa 1905. The Fakeer, with his shaved head and simple white attire, sits cross-legged on the pavement, his faithful ox standing beside him. The ox, adorned with ornate bells and a decorated yoke, seems to be a cherished companion, a symbol of the Fakeer's devotion and wandering spiritual journey. The scene unfolds on a crowded street, where Hindu onlookers gather around the Fakeer, their faces expressing curiosity, compassion, and sometimes skepticism. Pedestrians, dressed in traditional Indian attire, walk by, some pausing to drop coins into the Fakeer's bowl, while others continue on their way, seemingly unfazed by the begging scene. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Hinduism and its diverse practices, as well as the daily life of the people of Pune during the early 1900s. The Fakeer's presence on the street serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of the spiritual and the mundane, the sacred and the profane, in the vibrant and complex fabric of Indian society.
