In the monsoon-drenched forests of a coastal town in southern India known for its lush hills and spiritual retreats, a Russian woman was found living off grid in a cave with her two small daughters, without electricity or modern amenities.
Police officers patrolling the slippery trails of Ramteertha Hills in India’s Karnataka state stumbled upon an unusual sight earlier this month when they saw a cave curtained with a cloth and a little blonde girl running out barefoot from a hole in the mountain.
