The Aghori sadhus are the most feared and respected clan of the sadhus or ascetics of India. according to word-of-mouth stories, an Aghori sadhu is associated with post-death rituals and cremation activities, engaging in all post-mortem rituals, arousing curiosity and fear among the people. The Aghori mainly worship Lord Shiva and the goddess kali. According to the sect, every human is a 'shava'(dead body) with emotions and they should try to become 'Shiva' by denying human pleasures and relying on the Aghori rituals involving meditation, alcohol, and marijuana- motive still seeking God.
This grand portrait of a tough Aghori sadhu looks like a living embodiment of Lord Shiva. Holding a pointed trident in dramatic deep brown with white interiors, on which a well-sized damru and an ocher-colored cloth are tied, it looks amazing. flashing an impressive beard extended up to naval. Covered whole face, hands, and naked middle body portion in striking ashes from crematorium. Dressed in a natural ocher dhoti and other neatly wrapped attires on his left shoulder, with a deep-colored cotton belt on his waist. Various lengthy Rudraksha beads are lying around the neck. large eyes that seem sober despite the heavy intoxication, holding saturated grey-brownish locked-up hairs like a foothill on his head.
Aghoris go through acts that a common man finds to be terrifying, thus overcoming this terror. They live quite simple and forthright lives, despite their abnormal practices. According to an Aghori follower, certain misconceptions regarding some rituals must be cleared. Aghoris do not survive on human flesh( they can eat anything). Neither do they usually stay at cremation grounds. Aghoris go to cremation grounds to do their sadhana( meditation).
The cremation ground is a place where no desire takes birth as the source of desire, the mind, gets burned here with the body.
