Maha Kumbh 2025 at Prayagraj is being a melting pot of ascetics from diverse origins, bringing along their individual flavour to the holy congregation. Two most talked about among them are 'Bavander Baba' from Indore and 'Cycle Wale Baba' from Bihar. Bavander Baba, whose original name is Vinod Sanatani, has covered over 100,000 kilometers through 25 states on his elaborately decorated motorcycle, which he calls the 'Sanatan ka Rath' (Chariot of Sanatan). He travels with a mission to propagate Sanatan Dharma and bring social reforms in society. The agenda includes movements against the use of religious images on edible products. UTTAR PRADESH TIMES
Similarly, 'Cycle Wale Baba,' from Bihar's Aurangabad district, has taken a pilgrimage across the country on his cycle, visiting many temples and sacred places. He is religiously devoting himself to spreading the word of Sanatan Dharma, such that people often halt him for blessings and photographs.

These modern ascetics, whose modes of traveling and titles differ from the mainstream, have also become a symbolic representation of this tapestry of faith and devotion of the Maha Kumbh, which reverberates within the hearts of the devotees.
