Sadhus Post Cards


These are 5 different Sadhus post cards in my collection.

These Sadhus post cards are Copyright of Mr.Rakesh Raina of Heritage Books, Jaipur. Their email id is heritagebooksjpr@gmail.com. Even though these Sadhus  post cards are of my own collection but i am using them with their permission because these are copyright post cards of Heritage Books, Jaipur.




These are 2 different Naga Sadhus post cards. Naga Sadhus are a particular group of Shaivite saints who reside in the Himalayan Caves and come to visit the civilization only during the Kumbh Mela. This is the only  event when these ascetic saints can be seen amongst the general Indian population. 

More information about these Naga Sadhus available from Mahakumbhmelafestival.com website.
