Headless man: Hindu Yogi does strange penance, with head dug in ground, in Amarnath

From the archive record

Just how does he breathe? As Hindu pilgrims return from the high altitude shrine of Amarnath in Kashmir, men of god, sadhus, some frauds and yogis line the route, as they beg for alms and food. This sadhu has dug his head into the ground (not sand!) in a strange form of penance... sort of like an Ostrich with his head in the sand, perhaps? It truly does take all sorts to make our wonderful country of India!
