💨 Abstract

The article discusses the modern lives of Naga sadhus, who are known for their traditional ascetic lifestyle during the Kumbh Mela. Despite their reputation for living in caves and renouncing all attachments, many Naga sadhus lead dual lives. They have permanent addresses, voter IDs, bank accounts, and even use social media and OTT platforms. They drive expensive vehicles to the Kumbh and earn money from religious activities.
