Kolkata: While the sight of a naked man may shock outsiders, the villagers of Chandamari in West Bengal’s Cooch Behar district see him as a godly figure. Subal Burman can be seen roaming around naked during the day going for plumbing assignments or stopping at a stall to have a cup of tea. ‘‘Be it rain, summer or winter, I have spent 43 years like this,’’ said Burman. The reason for living life the nudist way is his allergy to clothes. ‘‘Wearing clothes made me feel sick, my jaw would get locked,’’ he said. Burman enjoys spending his time with children who often take a ride on his bicycle. ‘‘We revere him, unless godly you can’t do such things,’’ says a woman from the village.
