A video that has been shared a lot online claims that an elderly man found in a cave near Bengaluru is 188 years old.
The video, posted by someone called Concerned Citizen, has over 25 million views.
It says, "This Indian Man has just been found in a cave. It’s alleged he’s 188 years old. Insane!"
But many people are questioning if this is true. A note from X, a social media platform, says that the man’s age might not be correct.
It explains that the elderly man is actually a Hindu saint named Siyaram Baba, who lives in Madhya Pradesh, India.
According to reports, he is about 110 years old.
A news article from Navbharat Times states that Siyaram Baba is famous in his area. He reportedly spent ten years doing penance while standing on one leg! Even at 109 years old, he can read the Ramayana, a holy book, without glasses.
Baba doesn’t talk much, but many people visit him to seek blessings.
Some people in the area think he might even be 130 years old, but Baba himself hasn’t said how old he really is, which makes it hard to know for sure.
D-Intent Data has also said the video is misleading.
They confirm that the man is indeed Siyaram Baba, a respected saint, not someone who is 188 years old.
