Kumbh Mela 2025: The Sacred Goes Viral. Sadhus Smoking Chilum in Their Tents. Sadhus Relaxing and Smoking Chilum in Their Tents at the Kumbh Mela. Inside their humble tents at the Kumbh Mela, a group of sadhus smoke chilum, a traditional pipe used in their spiritual practice. The chilum, filled with tobacco or cannabis, is often smoked during meditative or ritual moments, connecting the sadhus to higher states of consciousness. As they sit in their tents, surrounded by the sacred atmosphere of the festival, the sadhus remain focused on their spiritual journey. The act of smoking, though often seen as a moment of relaxation, is intertwined with their ascetic lifestyle, where inner peace is sought through solitude, prayer, and reflection. The scene reflects the unique spiritual practices that are part of the rich tapestry of the Kumbh Mela, where devotion takes many forms.

About single dose of alcohol (wisky, vodka,..) consumption, unfortunately, more widespread every day in the Baka communities. From a young age, both women and men consume it, generating coexistence problems but also environmental problems, since these packets end up thrown away in the same jungle.
