Sadhus are ascetic practitioners in Hinduism who renounce worldly life to seek spiritual enlightenment and liberation (moksha). Often characterized by their unique attire, such as simple robes and often distinctive markings on their bodies, they may live in hermitages or wander as itinerant monks. Sadhus generally adhere to strict spiritual disciplines, including meditation, yoga, and devotion to deities. They play a significant role in Hindu culture, often participating in religious festivals and gatherings like the Kumbh Mela.
