Kumbh Mela 2019: One such person who has attracted the attention of the Kumbh Mela pilgrims is Shri Mahant Ram Krishna Das Tyagiji Maharaj, also known as 'Machaan wale baba'.
PRAYAGRAJ: As Prayagraj in Uttar Pradesh witnesses one of the largest human gatherings on the auspicious occasion of the 2019 Kumbh Mela, several sights across the Kumbh grab visitors' eyeballs.
One such person who has attracted the attention of the Kumbh Mela pilgrims is Shri Mahant Ram Krishna Das Tyagiji Maharaj, also known as 'Machaan wale baba'.
'Machaan wale baba' is practising sadhna (meditation) since 1975 which has made him come in minimum contact with the ground. Speaking to ANI, the saint said he interacts and greets everyone only from his machaan (hut on an elevated platform).
His pandal (big tent) in Kumbh provides a 24-hour service to nearly 5,000 visitors daily, free of cost and open for all. Another initiative he started is a free medical dispensary which caters to the health of the pilgrims.
Apart from such personalities, the Kumbh Mela is one of the only opportunities to see reclusive Naga Sadhus, who take a vow of celibacy and renounce worldly possessions.
