The energy is electrifying, and the visual spectacle is simply breathtaking. Holy men in saffron robes and ash-covered bodies engage in displays of austerity that are quite extraordinary. Some stand upright on one leg for extended periods, sometimes even years. Some tend to blazing fires for hours, seemingly impervious to the heat. Some practice extreme asceticism by remaining unclothed throughout the year to renounce worldly possessions and desires. Many maintain prolonged silence, limit food intake, and commit to yogic postures.
