You must not violate the bottom line of the locals, otherwise you will be condemned and expelled by the locals.

1. Ascetics on the streets of India
When tourists come to the streets of India, they can see ascetics everywhere, but in fact, ascetics have a high status in Indian society, which is not to be disturbed by ordinary people. Local tour guides advise Chinese tourists not to take photos with them if they see them on the street.
Ascetics are easy to recognize. Their main outward features are the ragged clothes they wear and the strange movements they make with their hands. They look very dirty on the surface, do not underestimate them, in the eyes of Indians they are the top of the society, no one dares to mess with them.
The reason why some ascetics choose to kill time is to eliminate their desires, to reach the inner realm, to constantly exercise their willpower and endurance, in the hope of being able to restrain their behavior, drive out all thoughts in their hearts, and make themselves have no desires or desires. Therefore, many ascetics in India will use some extreme behaviors to restrain their inner desires, such as hurting their own bodies and so on. Because India has a long religious belief, Indians have a lot of worship and dependence on these ascetics.
2.be careful about cheating tricks
Walking in the street must improve their vigilance, do not be cheated by some fake ascetics money, because only the real ascetics will not take the initiative to ask for money from others. If you meet some ascetics on the street to ask for money, that they must be fake, just use this pair of fur to achieve their own purpose of making money. Real ascetics have no desire for external things and money. They even distribute their money to the public, believing that only in this way can they completely eliminate their inner desires. They have been living a simple and simple life, without any external thoughts, money as dirt.
Local tourists should never take pictures with the dervishes, because some fake dervishes use the act of taking pictures to borrow money from tourists. Some tourists think they should not be offended by these dervishes, so they just give money. As long as they give money to each other, these bad people will feel that they are easy to bully, and will become worse. Therefore, tourists to India must manage their own behavior, do not make their money because of carelessness, if they are entangled by the local monks, must be timely to fight back, do not let them do whatever they want.
Foreigners should always take the advice of reservation to heart when traveling to other countries, as the guide is fully aware of the local customs and habits, and should never put their own safety in danger by their blind impulse. India is a country with a large population base and a low level of national education, and many people have not experienced the normal influence of education. In the process of traveling, you must not let your wealth be revealed at will, otherwise you will be remembered by others. Moreover, ascetics walking the streets of India are almost always fake, because ascetics live a nomadic life. They have no fixed residence at all. They spend most of their time thinking about their own problems and rarely walk on the streets where there are many people. Therefore, the sadhus we see on the streets are basically fake.
Tourists in the process of travel, must pay attention to their own safety, safety first, if they are completely unable to guarantee, even if seen no more scenery is useless, once they encounter danger to timely to the people around you for help, maintain a high degree of vigilance, all people should press a vigilant heart, do not relax their vigilance, Otherwise, you put yourself in danger.
