Devotees Visit Neem Karoli Baba Sites Following Hanuman Ansh Film Success
Devotees of Neem Karoli Baba, a 20th-century Indian spiritual guru, are increasingly visiting sites associated with him following the success of the biopic Hanuman Ansh. The Kainchi Dham ashram in the Kumaon hills sees growing pilgrim traffic, while a modest house in Prayagraj, believed to be a place where Baba stayed, has become a devotional spot. Both locations preserve relics and traditions linked to Baba, reflecting his enduring spiritual influence across generations and regions.
