Sadhus or Hindu holy men rest at Pashupatinath temple complex in Kathmandu on August 27, 2025. Nepal's Supreme Court has ruled that naked Hindu holy men need not wear clothes to attend a revered temple, declaring that their age-old tradition of nudity is not obscenity. The ash-smeared and dreadlocked ascetics known as Naga sadhus – devotees of the Hindu deity Shiva who renounce their family and worldly possessions, including clothing – said on August 27 that they welcomed the top court decision.
