This is how some Indians go horse-riding

Now don't go and flag this video down for nudity! This is a serious religious practice from India and a publicly-attended spectacle too, and, as documentary filmmakers from India, it is our duty to show you all there is to be seen in India - warts and all!
Naga sadus ready up with great zeal ready for Shahi snan at Triveni ghat, Allahabad
Naga Sadhus are categorized into Akharas, just like regiments in an army. They hold sticks, spears, swords and trident as a symbol of their identity. Some of the prominent Naga Akhara are Sanyasi Akhara, Bajrangi Akhara and Nirmal Akhara which are further subdivided into numbers of Akharas. Almost all the Akharas of Naga Sadhus take out a procession and go for a Holy Dip during the Ardh kumbh or Mahakumbh Mela. The processions led by Mahamandleshwars (their head teachers), riding horses. The Nagas carry swords and other weapons in the procession.
"Every Naga sadhu smears his body with the holy ash and grooms his 'Panchkesh' (hairs of his body) before proceeding for the holy dip.
