Not that shy after all! Hundreds of reclusive Indian holy men who shun society to seek life of solitude come together for colorful religious festival

The elusive naked Naga Sadhu holy men of India have been caught on camera at an annual Hindu festival in which they bathe in sacred waters in homage to Hindu God Lord Shiva. 


In March 2016, photographer Siddharth Kaneria ventured to the ancient Indian city of Junagadh to capture the men worshipping Lord Shiva at the Maha Shivaratri festival. The festival falls on the thirteenth and fourteenth days of the Hindu calendar month Phalguna.
