Sadhu Tyre Baba, saint Lazarus of Rishakesh, lived near the bank Axis. Maybe he is still there, but I visited India in 2014 last time, and that time Baba had terrific desease.
Sadhu smoked tyres, ate tyres and danced during 15 years. He is very famous ascetic Shaiva sadhu (aghori or aghora). The cancer had already destroyed lips, tongue and gums of guru, when I saw him first time in 2012. That year he was taken to hospital, but doctors couldn’t cure his illness. After that Tyre Baba is slowly dying, but stays happy and keep on dancing and smoking tyres.
The local dwellers said Tyre Baba had died once, but then he had been resurrected by goddess Kali.
Tyre Baba loved to talk with cows. Indian’s saint animals looks to be fond of uglified sadhu.
