Maha Kumbh in Kashi: A crowd of devotees gathered to see Naga ascetics
The glow of Prayagraj has now become the glow of Kashi. The number of Naga ascetics of Juna Akhara, who returned from Maha Kumbh, has increased further after the first royal visit to Kashi. Here the Naga ascetics have set up their camp in small camps built on the banks of the Ganga and have become a center of faith and attraction for the people. Thousands of people are flocking there every day to see them and are taking the dust of the ascetics and applying it to their foreheads.
Apart from Juna Akhara, saints of other Shaivite Akharas have also reached Kashi and have set up their camps on the banks of the Ganga. Everyone is worshiping Baba Vishwanath here and doing meditation by lighting the holy Dhuni on the banks of the Ganga. For them, Kashi is not just a destination, but the peak of spiritual significance.
They believe that the complete sanctity of Maha Kumbh is incomplete without the pilgrimage to the city of Baba Vishwanath. There are many nuns among them. Many types of forms are visible in their mysterious world.
People cannot control the desire to get blessings from Digambar Naga ascetics adorned with ash and take selfies with them. After the first Peshwai i.e. royal journey of Naga ascetics on Wednesday, their number has increased further.
On Saturday, a queue of domestic and foreign devotees was seen in almost every camp
Foreign tourists were also surprised to see this mysterious world and eager to learn more about the Babas and understand their philosophy of life. The mysterious world of Babas in the camps from Chetsingh Ghat to Mansarovar Ghat is making the miniature Kumbh in Kashi a reality.
