A Group of MendicantsGandhar School, 1st Century CE.
The Gandhar artist was a keen ibserver of everyday life around him. He gives us glimpses of the life of that time. Here are a group of Sadhus (mendicants) walking in a circle, as though the were going around a holy shrine. They are not Buddhist monks, but are Hindu Sadhus. Surprisingly not much has changed in their attire or living condition. In many ways, we are today, what we were then.
