The spirit of Sadhus
Sadhus are some of the holiest people in Hinduism, and for many, a chance to meet and be blessed by a Sadhu is a special moment at the Kumbh Mela. Naga Sadhus are the most auspicious of the Sadhus, and one of the key events is the procession on the most important bathing day left by the Sadhus before dawn. Sadhus have given up all their earthly possessions, including clothes, and thus are naked apart from their holy jewellry, accessories and their ash coating, which gives the white skin appearance.
