Who is Siyaram?
Siyaram Baba lives in central Khargone district. It is believed that Baba used to stand on one leg for 10 years. Baba was the Mahant of the Bhatyan Ashram on the banks of the Narmada River. Many devotees come here to meet him. Baba is said to be a devotee of Lord Hanuman. It is said about Baba that he used to read Ramayana without glasses. There is always a rush of devotees to visit him. He takes only Rs.10 from the devotee.
