Released on August 7, 2026, the devotional drama 'Hanuman Ansh' has emerged as a surprise box office hit, reportedly earning over Rs 50 crore globally on a budget of Rs 2 crore. The film chronicles the life of 20th-century spiritual leader Lakshman Das, known as Neem Karoli Baba or Maharaj Ji.
His spiritual journey led him to establish ashrams, including the first one inaugurated in Kainchi Dham, Uttarakhand, in June 1964. This destination near Nainital attracts hundreds of devotees daily but has strict rules for visitors and limited accommodation.
Further ashrams associated with Neem Karoli Baba are located in Vrindavan, Lucknow, Delhi, Rishikesh, and his native village. Internationally, ashrams operate in Taos, New Mexico, and Germany, serving as centers for meditation and spiritual discourse.
