The saffron Man

On January 10, 2026, 26-year-old vegetable vendor Altaf from Karnataka was arrested at the temple in Safilguda after allegedly defecating inside, prompting locals to assault him and force a cleanup. Neredmet Police charged him with house-trespass, obscene acts, and insulting religious beliefs, remanding him to 14 days' custody as they check CCTV and his background. The incident fueled protests, BJP criticism of government inaction on temple attacks, and online outrage, with heavy police presence maintaining calm amid communal tensions.

Devavrat Rekhe, a 19-year-old from Maharashtra, recited 25 lakh verses of the Shukla Yajurveda in Dandak Kram entirely from memory over 50 days, a feat that has been accomplished only three times in history. Recognising his dedication and perfect recitation, Kashi’s Brahmins will award him the prestigious title ‘Dandakram Vikramaditya’.
