A devotee of Indian Hindu Akhara leader Trikal Bhawanta grapples with police officials as she undergoes a burial ritual in Ujjain on April 26, 2016, during a Kumbh Mela. A group of devout Hindu women began burying their leader alive April 26 in protest at being denied permission to bathe in holy waters at the Kumbh Mela festival, in the latest battle for gender equality at India's religious sites. The female "sadhus", or holy women, dug a grave near the River Ganges after which Mahant Trikal Bhavanta, wearing a saffron robe and prayer beads, climbed in to be buried alive. / AFP / STR (Photo credit should read STR/AFP via Getty Images)
