Sadhus
Sadhus are ascetic practitioners in Hinduism who dedicate their lives to spiritual pursuits. They often renounce worldly possessions and live a life of simplicity, focusing on meditation, prayer, and self-discipline. Many Sadhus wear distinctive clothing, such as orange robes, and may have long hair or beards, symbolizing their commitment to their spiritual path.
These individuals often gather during religious festivals, such as the Kumbh Mela, where they participate in rituals and share their teachings. Sadhus can belong to various sects, each with its own beliefs and practices, but they all share a common goal of attaining spiritual enlightenment and liberation from the cycle of rebirth.
