Living with minimal material possessions, Naga Sadhus focus on meditation, yoga, and studying sacred texts. They believe that by renouncing the physical world, they can connect more deeply with the spiritual realm and achieve moksha, or liberation from the cycle of birth and death.

One of the most significant gatherings of Naga Sadhus takes place during the Kumbh Mela, a massive Hindu festival held at four different riverbank pilgrimage sites in India. This event, held every three years at rotating locations, draws millions of devotees. During the Kumbh Mela, Naga Sadhus perform rituals such as the Shahi Snan (Royal Bath), symbolizing the purification of the soul. Their displays of spiritual endurance and discipline inspire countless devotees and reflect the deeper values of renunciation and devotion in Hindu culture.
