One of the most famous and the oldest Akhada in Mahakumbh 2025 is undoubtedly the Juna Akhada. It is an Akhada of the Shaiva tradition, which means that it worships Lord Shiva as the supreme deity, the protector, the conserver, the transformer, and more. Juna Akhada is known for its Naga sadhus, the ascetics who renounce worldly possessions, live in extreme austerity, and smear themselves with ash, wearing nothing on their body except a single loin cloth at times.
