India's ascetic monk lifted his right hand into the air, and for 45 years he had not put it down.

An Indian ascetic, who has held his right hand up in the air since 1973, has raised his hand for 45 years.

Amar bharati is an Indian middle class. He has a wife and three children. One day he suddenly decided to leave everything and become an ascetic and serve god for the rest of his life.

He held his right hand up high, and never dropped it, whether it was eating, sleeping on the toilet, or even all the activities in life.

Though raising your hand is a simple gesture, it will take a lot of perseverance to keep it up.

Whatever it is, the strong-willed old man is respected.
