Naga Baba Experience | Mahakumbh 2025 Guide Tour

Naga Baba Experience | Mahakumbh Guide Tour

The Naga Sadhus are one of the most fascinating aspects of the Kumbh Mela. They are ascetic warriors who have renounced worldly life and devote themselves to spiritual practice and meditation. Known for their distinctive appearance—often covered in ash, with long matted hair, and wearing little to no clothing. They symbolize a complete detachment from the material world.

During the Kumbh Mela, the Naga Sadhus lead the Satvik Snan (Royal bath), a central ritual where they are the first to bathe in the holy river. This ritual is performed in the early morning and is believed to cleanse one's soul, bringing spiritual purification.
