Naga Sadhu is a community of sadhus and saints. As soon as a Naga Sadhu becomes naked, it becomes clear that he is naked. Apart from men, there are also female Naga Sadhus.
Female Naga Sadhus do not go naked like men. Female Naga Sadhus are allowed to wear a piece of unstitched cloth. They apply Tilak. Leave their hair hanging.
Before becoming a Naga Sadhu, these women have to undergo rigorous penance and meditation.
Before becoming a female Naga Sadhu, she has to follow strict celibacy for 6 to 12 years as a test, only after this she gets a chance to become a Naga Sadhu.
Female Naga Sadhus have to shave their heads before taking initiation.
Before becoming a female Naga Sadhu, a female nun has to break all worldly bonds. For this, she has to donate her Pind while she is alive. In Hinduism, Pind is given only after death.
Female Naga Sadhus always lead a life isolated from the world. They come out in front of the world only on occasions like Kumbh Mela to take bath in holy rivers.
