Sadhu

A Sadhu is a Hindu spiritual practitioner who dedicates their life to spiritual growth, meditation, and renunciation of worldly possessions. They often live ascetically, seeking spiritual enlightenment and liberation (moksha) through disciplined practices. Sadhus may be monks, wandering ascetics, or hermits, often traveling and engaging in rituals or meditation. They hold a revered place in Hindu tradition, symbolizing devotion and spiritual pursuit. Their lifestyle emphasizes simplicity, self-control, and a focus on inner spiritual development, often expressed through distinctive attire and traditional practices.
