The Kadhi dumplings are the bhandara before the departure of the Naga sadhus. After this, they loose the door of the religious flag in their camp. Before departure, the tradition of loosening the religious flag and doing a bhandara of Kadhi Pakoda has been going on for centuries. There are a total of 13 akharas in Sanatan Dharma, 7 Akhadas in these 13 akhadas will depart directly towards Kashi Vishwanath after Mahakumbh and will cam their camp here till Mahashivratri. Actually, on the auspicious occasion of Mahashivaratri, Naga Sadhu takes out a procession in Kashi. During this, Masane plays Holi and also take bath in the Ganges. After Mahashivaratri, the Naga Sadhu will return to his respective akhad and here he will be absorbed in deep meditation and good. Naga Sadhu stays in the arena and provides religious education and leads as an ascetic life.
In such a situation, you will see Naga sadhus during Mahashivaratri or even in other times. But Kumbh is an event when the Naga monks of all the akhadas gather together at the same place at the same time. After the Mahakumbh of Prayagraj in 2025, Naga Sadhu will now be seen at the Kumbh Mela to be held in Nashik in 2027. Let us know that in 2027, Kumbh in Nashik will be held on the banks of the Godavari river.

The process of becoming a Naga monk is quite complicated. To become Naga Sadhu, the education of celibacy is first taken and after it is successful, initiation is given from the great man and then Yajnopavit. Then they do their own pindadan, which is called Bijwan. It takes 12 years for an ordinary person to become a Naga monk. 6 years are considered the most important in 12 years. This is a time when they have to get important information to become Naga Sadhu and during this time they live only in the diapers. In Kumbh, he takes a pledge and after that he also renounces the diapers and remains naked for his whole life. He never sleeps in bed after becoming a Naga monk. Naga sages stay in the arena and get education to live discipline and organized life. Naga is well known in the art of attaining the knowledge of Sadhu Dharmashastra.
