“Photo of an ice clad Yogi in Himalayas”
What FACTLY found
The photo is not of an ice clad Yogi in Himalayas. The person in the picture is Baba Bhalegiri Ji Maharaj who was performing ‘Agni Tapasya’ in Haryana. Baba Bhalegiri Ji Maharaj is well-known in Rindhana village in Haryana as he performs the ‘Agni Tapasya’ quite frequently near the Sheetla Mata Mandir in Sonipat District. Photos and videos of Baba Bhalegiri Ji Maharaj performing ‘Agni Tapasya’ can be seen on his Facebook and YouTube channels
