A Hindu wandering holy man (5)
I believe the answer is:
sadhu
'a hindu wandering holy man' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for sadhu that I've seen before include "Hindu wandering holy man" , "Indian holy man or sage" , "Indian wandering holy man" , "Ascetic" , "one choosing austerity" .)
