He is a Whipper Malang , and he whips himself at most of the Shrines his form of earning monet to buy a ticket for the onward journey to the next Holy Shrine.
I first met him several years back on Mahim sea face at the Holy Shrine of Baba Khizar a Sufi tomb that is on the beach , but gets immersed during high tide.. the sea water had turned miraculously sweet some time back..
So I know this Whipper Baba very well at the Dhamal men held their hands to be whipped by him.. I am not cross blogging this whipping lot, the stroke of the whip was faster than the shutter on my camera..
