Kumbh Mela 2019, India

Allahabad - Prayagraj

 

An angry sadhu. Usually, they want money and people pay, but this sadhu wanted 100 dollars - maybe it was a joke. They are poor monks who live in mountains, but nowadays they can't live without any money. I always try to pay them because they are good and interesting people. Most of them are sincere believers.

 

Naga Sadhus are considered as militant groups of Hindus for safeguarding Hinduism and India from foreign invaders. They mostly live in Himalayan Caves and they appear during the time of Kumbh Mela. They never disturb or kill any innocent people of the Society. Naga Sadhus are mostly half clothed Saints, long Jata on their heads. Their faces are always covered with ash. (Quora)
