Among them is the “muscular baba” from Russia, who has grabbed the spotlight due to his well-defined physique.

Dressed in simple saffron-colored clothing, with a big Jabala by his side and a rudraksha mala around his neck, the sadhu was spotted visiting the religious gathering. Several social media users shared his videos and photos, which went viral.

According to reports, the baba, nicknamed the “Muscular Baba,” is a seven-foot-tall wrestler. He learned about Hinduism about thirty years ago and has adopted the religion since then.
