•  Info A Saddhu in Durbar Square, Kathmandu, Nepal. Created and originally uploaded by Anton Gutmann – sightly edited and nominated by Aristeas. The original file is somewhat noisy, so I reduced the grain and added a bit of local sharpening where possible. Yes, you can still spot some grain here and there, but that’s how good it gets without making it too artificial and IMHO the look is OK for such a reportage-style photo. --Aristeas (talk) 15:12, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
•  Support Another cool photo from Wiki Loves Folklore 2023, and one of my favourites. Nice balanced composition, beautiful contrast between the vivid colours of the clothes and the subdued colours of the background. --Aristeas (talk) 15:12, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

•  Support I would like to know what a yogi thinks about being photographed for a photo for commercial purposes? --Wilfredor (talk) 17:55, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

•  Comment Good question. I guess that if he’s a real yogi, he may laugh at our material endeavours – or cry out of pity for our earthly delusions. --Aristeas (talk) 09:56, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

  I am not sure but I believe that the yogi's philosophy is to maintain a state of continuous meditation without exaltation, that is, crying or laughing are two extremes that distance one from the spiritual path. But maybe I'm confusing an Indian yogi with a Tibetan monk. Wilfredor (talk) 14:11, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

  Well, he is Nepalese anyways ;) Kritzolina (talk) 20:12, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
