Dulal Giri Ji Maharaj, an Indian ascetic who has allegedly spent several years standing in an act of devotion to the Hindu deity Shiva, recently went viral online.
Some reports said he has been standing for at least 5 years, while others claimed it has been 12 years since he sat down.
Photos and videos of the sage started circulating on social media in June 2026, leaving many users stunned, confused, and a little skeptical.
