Dressed like Sai Baba at the Secunderabad Carnival

Posted by Shuva Brata Deb (Bangalore, India) on 14 June 2006 in People & Portrait.

Sai Baba of Shirdi or Shirdi Sai Baba was an Indian guru and fakir, who is regarded by his Hindu and Muslim followers as a saint. In his life and teachings he tried to embrace and reconcile both faiths: Sai Baba lived in a mosque, was buried in a Hindu temple, embraced Hindu and Muslim practices, and taught using words and figures that drew from both traditions. One of his well known epigrams says of God: "Sab ka Malik Ek" ("One lord of all.")
