People attending Maha Kumbh Mela are not only taking the holy dip at Triveni Sangam but also visiting different Akhadas to seek the blessings of Sadhus. While you might have come across many reels showing these Sadhus meditating, chanting, or blessing devotees, this recent video claims to show Maha Kumbh Babas enjoying a cricket match in their free time.
A video posted on X showed Babas engaged in a cricket match along with locals. It was suggested that the Babas seen in the clip were none other than those at Maha Kumbh 2025.
