The Naga Sadhus are worshipers of Lord Shiva and normally do not wear clothes.They are categorized in Akharas, just like regiments in an army. They hold sticks,spears,swords and trident as a symbol of their identity.

Graham
very strong vote from me Debu.
The covering in ash is also an act of worship I believe? In goa, there is a large scuplture of Shiva in the rock at little vagator, & a trident (shiva symbol) has been cemented inmto the rock.
Love this stuff Debu, I have a small Shiva temple in my loft room.
Gareth
Excellent informative photo Debu.

Trev.
Very interesting Debu. I had heard of Shiva but not of the `Naga Sadhus`.
Good shot
Mark
Very interesting, intriguing... a great contrast between the ancient religion and modern life... Now I will look on wikipedia what it is all about.
Quote: Another fine piece of photo journalism here Debu.
Good shot.
Mick.
I agree and I am glad that you chose this discreet POV!
A strong image I like the finish, makes it look like a painting.
