These people are some people who dress strangely on the streets of India. Usually, local people call them ascetics. However, the vast majority of these people are not true ascetic monks, but just professional "beggars" who illegally collect money in the name of ascetic monks.
With the development of China's economy, people's material living standards have been greatly improved, so traveling abroad has become a way of life for many people. India and China are both ancient civilizations and the birthplace of Buddhism, so many China people travel to India every year. But before we travel, we should do our homework about the places we go, understand some local customs and taboos, avoid causing unnecessary conflicts and affecting the travel experience, and effectively ensure that our legitimate rights and interests are not violated.
For example, in the past two years, there have been a lot of people dressed in untidy clothes and painted on their bodies in the streets of India. Tourists who don't know may be curious to take a group photo, but you may be cheated of money for taking such a group photo, so if you are accompanied by a tour guide, the tour guide will generally advise you to stay away from such people in advance.
There are many ascetic monks in India, but most of them live in seclusion in some remote places, such as those who appear in the streets are mostly pretended by local residents. If you go up for a group photo, they will immediately ask you for money as soon as it is finished. If you don't give it to them, they will keep pestering you, and sometimes even some accomplices will come up to pester you together. Therefore, in order to protect our legitimate rights and interests, we should try our best to avoid contact with such people in the street when traveling to India.
