A Naga Baba, or Naked holy saint, is rolling a tiger skin printed cloth around his head after taking a bath and smearing ashes over his body on the embankments of the Bagmati River next to Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 6, 2024. Hundreds of Naga Babas, translated as ''Naked Saints,'' are arriving at Pashupatinath Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to attend Maha Shivaratri, the night dedicated to Lord Shiva.
