Not for the Faint of Heart: The Aghori and Their Cannibalistic Practices
The Aghori are a small group of ascetic Shaiva sadhus. They engage in post-mortem tantric rituals, which include dwelling in charnel grounds, smearing cremation ashes on their bodies, engaging in coprophagia, feeding off human corpses, and using human bones for crafting kapalas and jewellery.
Shrouded in an aura of mystery, the Aghori sadhus’ are know for post-mortem rituals - in particular the practice cannibalism.
Aghoris live among India's cremation sites - where Lord Shiva and goddess Kali Ma are said to dwell - and feed on what others throw away.
Bodies are often cremated and then scattered into the sacred Ganges river, but some bodies are disposed of without cremation.
The Aghori are said to collect these remains and use them for their spiritual enlightenment, wearing the corpses, consuming them or building alters from them.
As well as feasting on human flesh, Aghoris also drink from human skulls and chew the heads off of live animals
