"Another "holy" man who has taken a vow that he will never allow the finger nails of his left hand to be cut or broken." A man stands with wide eyes and hands openly facing the camera. The fingernails of his left hand are very long. This photograph is from an album prepared by W. K. Norton of The Pilgrims Mission, Benares [Vārānasi].
