Most Hindu temples have some depiction of Shiva with his many wives, these are at Pashupatinath. Somewhat less depressing than the endless depictions of torment often found in western churches. For more on my thoughts about Pashupatinath, have read through the eponymous entry on luxagraf.

Sadhus. From Wikipedia: In Hinduism, sadhu is a common term for an ascetic or practitioner of yoga (yogi) who has given up pursuit of the first three Hindu goals of life: kama (enjoyment), artha (practical objectives) and even dharma (duty). The sadhu is solely dedicated to achieving moksha (liberation) through meditation and contemplation of God
