Hindu holy men of the Juna Akhara sect participate in rituals believed to rid them of all ties in this life and dedicate themselves to serving God as naked holy man, after taking dips at the confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna Rivers during the Maha Kumbh festival in Allahabad, India, Jan. 31, 2013. The significance of nakedness is that they will not have any worldly ties to material belongings. (Rajesh Kumar Singh/AP Photo)
