Additional Responsibilities for Brahmachari
Slok 175

Listen

My disciples who are brahmachari must never talk to or intentionally look at women. ||175||

Brahmachari are a sub-class of sadhu. They are sometimes referred to as absolute celibates. Both sadhu and brahmachari have similar regulations. Brahmachari wear a white dhoti (loincloth) and drape a saffron cloth over their upper bodies. These brahmachari are generally given the duty of serving and performing the daily ceremonies to the murti in the temples.
