At Maha Kumbh 2025 in Prayagraj, Ambassador Baba, arriving in his vintage saffron Ambassador car, and Rudraksh Baba, adorned with 11,000 Rudrakshas, captivate attendees and social media influencers alike. These spiritual figures highlight the rich traditions and diverse personalities of India's largest spiritual gathering.

Thousands have begun to converge on Prayagraj for the grand Maha Kumbh Mela 2025. Among the spiritual notables is Ambassador Baba, who has captivated the crowd with his vintage saffron Ambassador car.

Hailing from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, Ambassador Baba is over 50 with four previous Kumbh Melas under his belt, each journey undertaken in his cherished 1972 model car that has been with him for three decades. Speaking to ANI, he shares, "I travel, eat, and sleep in this car. It's like my life." Post-Kumbh, his journey will continue to Banaras and Ganga Sagar.

Equally intriguing is Rudraksh Baba, whose garlands of 11,000 Rudraksh beads—gifts from devotees—approximate 30 kilos and have earned him a following. Known as Rudraksh Baba, he has become a social media sensation, attracting both devotees and influencers eager to capture his storied presence.
