Kumbh Mela 2025: The Sacred Goes Viral. The Naga Sadhus: Guardians of the Kumbh Mela. At the Maha Kumbh Mela, the Naga Sadhus stand as powerful symbols of asceticism and strength. With their distinctive appearance, clad in nothing but ash, with dreadlocked hair and intense spiritual focus, they greet pilgrims with both grace and authority. As the faithful approach, offering their donations, the Naga Sadhus accept them not for material gain but as a reminder of the sacred cycle of giving. These ascetics, who have renounced all worldly attachments, embody the spirit of selflessness and spiritual devotion, welcoming the pilgrims in their journey to purification and enlightenment.
