Harsha Richhariya, a social media influencer, made waves at Maha Kumbh 2025, one of the largest and most sacred Hindu gatherings in the world. She has been sharing her experiences and insights from the event on her social media platforms, giving her 1.8 million Instagram followers a glimpse into the event, which attracts millions of devotees. In a new podcast on Shadow Talks’ YouTube channel, Harsha was asked about her fashion choices
On buzz around her recent outfit choices
Asked to react to people who question her for wearing makeup, Harsha said in Hindi, “Being Sanatani and being a Sadhvi are very different. I have been making it clear to people that I am not a Sadhvi. As a member of our Sanatani samaj (society), I know what I can and cannot do without crossing boundaries.”
Harsha has denied taking sannyas or renouncing worldly life. She said, “Tomorrow, when I wear jeans and a top, I know that I have the right to do so, and it is my choice because I am not a Sadhvi. I am a normal person on a spiritual journey. Whether I wear lipstick or contact lenses or apply makeup on my face and wear jeans with a top, no one should have an issue with that. So, such questions about what I wear do not make sense.”
