A NAKED holy man tows a lorry using his willy in a feat of endurance at India's Magh Mela festival.
The bearded sadhu, wearing only beads and sandals, put himself through the painful ritual as a test of his spirituality.
Sadhus are wandering holy men who have rejected earthly comforts in search of enlightenment and rely on the kindness of strangers for food and shelter.

Sadhus often perform feats of physical or mental endurance to demonstrate their spiritual strength and mastery of yoga.
These can involve lifting or carrying objects, or sitting or standing motionless for hours on end.
