Female Jain Monks listen intently as they are being sworn into the Jain religion to become a Sadhu or a 'Sramani or Sadhvi'.

Note the items in the front which are peacock dusting feathers carried by the sky clad (naked) monks seated in the background.

These woman pull their hair out by hand when the ritual is completed.
