I found this sadhu during the night on the banks of the Ganges during the kumbh mela celebrations, I talked to him for a few minutes, took a tea and took this photo.
Kumbh (Kumbh Mela) Festival is held on the full moon night (Purnima) of the month of Paush and throughout the month. It is celebrated in Haridwar, Ujjain and Nasik every four years, but the Kumbh a Prayag has a special meaning. (4 cities) The Kumbh Festival is characterized by the fact that it is held on the banks of sacred rivers.
In Prayag it is held every 12 years on the banks of the Ganges-Yamuna rivers and the mythical Saraswati flows underground. In Haridwar on the Ganges and in Nasik on the Godavari. A large fair takes place on these occasions on the banks of these rivers with a huge congregation of devoted pilgrims. The party and mythology date back to the event of the blending of the Ocean of Milk (Universe) narrated in the Shiva Purana and other classical Hindu texts from which the newly pure elements arose, including amrita (liquid of immortality). Shiva carried it into a jug (Kumbh) and lost 4 drops. (Other versions speak of drops of his sperm). The jug is celebrated described analyzed with many esoteric symbols. For this event, the ascetics who live in the most remote parts of India move and who for the most part live naked and undergo special asceticism. The bath, the ritual baths of the astrological period of Khumba Mela have a traditional efficacy and inspire Hindus to intense mystical sensations.
