Naga sadhus become centre of attraction on Triveni bank

Prayagraj, Jan 14 (UNI) Naga sadhus showcased the captivating display of spiritual fervour and martial artistry, mesmerising pilgrims at Triveni bank on the first Amrit Snan of Maha Kumbh on Tuesday.
Leading most of the Akharas during the Amrit Snan, the Naga sadhus mesmerised onlookers with their discipline and mastery of traditional weapons. From skilfully wielding spears and swords to energetically playing the Damru, their demonstrations were a vibrant celebration of age-old traditions. Stunts with sticks and other martial feats added to their spirited display, leaving the devotees enthralled.
In the grand Shobha Yatra of the Akharas leading up to the Amrit Snan, some Naga Sadhus rode majestically on horses while others walked on foot, adorned in their distinctive attire and ornaments.
