Most of us have regular jobs. We go to work in the mornings and come back in the evenings. But some people have it slightly different. What they do for a living will not fit the regular everyday job descriptions. Here are 15 such job profiles that you would never have believed exist in India:

1. Coin collector

The Kaduvayil Mosque at Kallambalam, Kerala, is located on the national highway. Devotees who pass by fling coins as offerings at the mosque and more often than not, the coins end up on the highway. So the mosque has appointed men to collect these coins. Dressed in blue, these men use metal rods tipped with magnets to collect the coins. As of right now, there are 10 such collectors who operate on 8-hour shifts. This job is more dangerous than it sounds as the collectors are often hit by vehicles.

2. Photographer of the dead

67-year-old Bilar Nisar in Varanasi has a very morbid job. He photographs the dead. He started this odd job way back in 1961 when he was paid Rs 150 to photograph a dead neighbour. Now, more than four decades later, he is still doing the same thing. Depending on the request, he photographs just the deceased person or includes the grieving family in the frame. The fact that many Hindus believe they attain salvation if they die in Varanasi has worked wonders for his business.
