In Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, there’s a unique tea seller known as “Chai Wale Baba.” For 40 years, Dinesh Swaroop Brahmachari has helped students prepare for civil service exams, and he does it all for free! Instead of talking, he stays silent and lives on just ten cups of tea each day.
Baba teaches through WhatsApp, where students can ask questions and get helpful answers. Rajesh Singh, a student who has been with Baba for about four to five years, shared, “We understand him through his hand signals and messages. His way of teaching works for us.”
Baba provides study notes and answers student questions using his phone. He aims to help aspiring officers reach their dreams. He believes that being silent lets him gather energy for helping others.
At the same time, a French woman named Pascal is visiting Prayagraj for the big Maha Kumbh Mela 2025. She expresses her joy, saying, “I love being here. This place feels special and helps purify my spirit. Meeting yogis and people from Hindu culture is amazing, and I believe in Shiva.”
The Maha Kumbh Mela is a massive gathering and is expected to welcome over 450 million visitors. The event will wrap up on February 26, with important bathing ceremonies happening on January 14, January 29, and February 3.
