The 2025 Mahakumbh Mela has been buzzing with the presence of viral babas, including Kaante Wale Baba, Environment Baba, IITian Baba, and Rabri Baba, each known for their distinctive personalities and lifestyles. However, they’re now in the spotlight for a new reason.
A video shared by Jitendra Pratap Singh (@jpsin1) on X shows a group of babas enjoying a spirited game of cricket at the Mela. Clad in traditional attire, they can be seen hitting sixes and fours with ease, much to the excitement of the spectators. The crowd around them is seen cheering, snapping pictures, and recording the unexpected spectacle.
The video, captioned in Hindi, translates to, “Babas playing cricket during their free time at the Maha Kumbh.” It quickly went viral, gaining thousands of views, and sparking reactions from netizens in the comments section. One user commented, “What could be a more beautiful picture than this?” while another noted, “Where has the public gone? Everything is empty.”
In addition to their cricket skills, some babas have been garnering attention for their environmental messages. For the past five years, one Baba has been growing crops such as wheat, millet, gram, and peas on his head, promoting a unique and powerful message about the need to protect the environment, especially from deforestation. His unconventional method serves as a call for greater environmental consciousness and highlights how even small actions can contribute to a greener planet.
Another baba making waves is Amarjeet, also known as Anaaj Wale Baba, from Sonbhadra, Uttar Pradesh. His innovative approach to sustainability, blending spirituality with environmental advocacy, has captivated many, further adding to the Mela’s growing list of viral babas.
