Image description

A long-haired sadhu, Hindu holy man, smokes hashish in the northern Indian holy city of Hardwar January 15. Sadhus smoke hashish as a ritual as they believe that it is an offering to please Lord Shiva to help them meditate. Hashish is widely grown in the Himalayan foothills, but cultivation for commercial purposes is banned. Shiva, also called Siva, is a Hindu god who personifies both the destructive and the procreative forces of the universe.
