We came across this statue of Mahatma Gandhi at a place of pilgrimage. A few things, like the silver color of statue, absence of any platform or plinth etc. appeared odd. We clicked the picture.
The Surprise part came a bit later, when the ‘statue’ moved. It was no statue, but a man who had applied sliver paint all over his body, put on the garb of the Father of Nation and was standing still as a statue for as long as he could.
Things people have to do to earn their daily bread!

very interesting surprise… I am sure applying paint to his can’t be good… there are a number of these “living”statues here along the sea walk in Mexico… i worry abou t what they use to paint themselves, green or gold…and I am thankful that I don’t have to earn a meager living pretending to be made of stone.

These people cannot afford quality products, so whatever paint he was using could be harmful.It’s a hard life. Thank you so much for your valuable inputs 🙂
