Life of Naga Sadhus

Caption: Life of Naga Sadhus Naga Sadhus are those monks or Sanyasis who do not wear any cloth as they have renounced the material world. They normally stay at a height in The Himalayas and sometimes they come down to take holy bath, especially at the time of famous Kumbha Mela. During this visit to Varanasi, I surprisingly saw them. Two sadhus are in intense conversation on the Ghat of Varanasi- a moment I wanted to capture.
