We can’t guess
his religious affinity or identity
but all through the week
he exhibits his talent in one religion or the other
His art emporium is the foot path itself
and he exhibits chalk portraits of variety of GODs
depending on the day ,it relates
Mon , Tues,  wed and Thursday
He portrays Siva,Hanuman, Ayyappa and Saibaba respectively
and unfailingly on Saturday ,he paints  the lord of seven hills
Friday his paintings  appear at masjid or mosque
And definitely on Sunday he portrays Christ or mother Mary

All his hard work is unperturbed ,unhindered and undisturbed
Except by the rain GOD HIMSELF,  in his own explicit ways

He by person  somehow, is not available at the artistic site
But coins gifted by the onlookers only have their interface with us
He will not beg alms from any body
But the  people who gift coins,
 pray for some benefit  or the other as a boon
 from the portrayed Almightiest
they undoubtedly are the real beggars
 that crave for bountifuls

but not the colourful painter at all.
