Hindu holy man (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

sadhu

fakir

'hindu holy man' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sadhu that I've seen before include "Indian holy man or sage" , "Ascetic" , "Indian wandering holy man" , "one choosing austerity" , "Hindu wandering holy man" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Telegraph, the Thinks.com, the Universal, the USA Today and The Sun.
