🥇 Spiritual Life at the Ganga River 🇮🇳 Hindu Ascetics in Varanasi by @x-rain

This man is a naga sadhu (or a naga sadhu disciple). Naked, covered with ash, with dreads. The trident of Shiva is in front of him. It might be that this plastic bag on the table contains cannabis - sadhus smoke openly at the ghats.

Being naked, The Times of India writes, is a way of renouncing the material world for them. They are also known to be warriors defending Hindu people and temples.

🥈 A wonderful experience visiting an elephant sanctuary in Thailand [Eng-Esp] by @belug

The best information I got was that I had to go to a sanctuary that had the ACES (Asian Captive Elephant Standards) seal to at least guarantee a certain ethical treatment and, above all, the ethical origin of the elephants, since many reviews referred to the presence of baby elephants in the sanctuaries, which is not related to the “rescue” that these establishments refer to.

🥉 Buenos Aires Museums: Chapter 18: Recoleta Cultural Center [ENG|ESP] by @cristiancaicedo

Wide corridors, an open courtyard, and a vast terrace with various statues facing north, offering a view of the UBA Law School's facade, are some of the most striking architectural features of this building complex. The complex is centered around a former convent and includes several annexes, now displayed in yellowish hues. While it's true that in summer, under the relentless southern sun, lingering on the terrace for long periods can be challenging, in spring or autumn, it must be delightful to lean against the railing and admire the neighborhood and the UBA Law School's Greek portico.
