Aghori (ascetic sadhu)

The Aghori, a sect of ascetic sadhus in India, are often perceived as enigmatic figures living on the fringes of conventional society. Known for their extreme practices, Aghoris seek to transcend societal norms, aiming for spiritual enlightenment through intense meditation, rituals, and confrontations with death. They are often associated with the worship of Lord Shiva, particularly his destructive aspect, and embrace practices that challenge the boundaries of life and death.

Their rituals may involve meditating in cremation grounds, using human skulls as cups, and engaging in acts that most people consider taboo, all in the pursuit of shedding the ego and achieving liberation. Aghoris view the physical world as an illusion and seek to detach from it in order to experience a higher spiritual reality.
