Don’t show up in your birthday suit
Contrary to the festival’s name, no one is actually naked.
Be careful of the crowds
Fatalities have resulted from the crush of the crowd and falling down the temple stairs. Keep your hands in the air to avoid falling and avoid the center and edges of the stairs.
Beware of hypothermia
Naked + freezing temps + icy water = cold
Register at a group tent
if you plan to participate. You’ll need to write your blood type and contact information on a piece of paper to tuck into your loincloth.
Know your personal limits
It’s as intense as festivals get, but the vibe is good.
