Summary
| Description |
Allahabad - Prayagraj Naga Sadhu A sadhu, also spelt saddhu, is a religious ascetic, mendicant (monk) or any holy person in Hinduism and Jainism who has renounced the worldly life. Naga = naked. Kumbh Mela or Kumbha Mela is a mass Hindu pilgrimage of faith in which Hindus gather to bathe in a sacred or holy river. The main festival site is located on the banks of a river: the confluence (Sangam) of the Ganges and the Yamuna and the invisible Sarasvati at Allahabad. Bathing is thought to cleanse a person of all their sins. |
