Rajinikanth visits Mahavatar Babaji

Superstar Rajinikanth is once again on his annual Himalayan trip, and this year’s stop has sent fans into a spiritual frenzy online.

The veteran actor, known for his deep connection with spirituality, visited the Mahavatar Babaji caves, a revered spot for meditation seekers in Uttarakhand.

Photos and videos of Rajinikanth sitting quietly outside the cave — dressed simply in a black jumper, white pants, a Nike cap, and holding a walking stick — have now gone viral across social media. In one clip, he can be seen halting his car to meet fans, smiling for selfies, and waving warmly before heading toward the cave.

A Moment of Reflection and Calm

Sources close to the actor revealed that Rajinikanth meditated inside the Mahavatar Babaji cave for a brief period before spending time around the site in silence. Known for finding peace in the mountains, the actor reportedly described the experience as “rejuvenating.”

Fans were quick to praise his humility after pictures surfaced of him enjoying simple meals at roadside dhabas during his journey. “He’s the biggest superstar, but still the simplest man,” one user commented on X (formerly Twitter).

A Spiritual Routine Before 'Jailer 2'

Every year, Rajinikanth takes a short break from work to embark on a spiritual retreat — and 2025 is no different. This time, his pilgrimage covered Rishikesh, Badrinath Dham, and the Mahavatar Babaji caves.

The actor reportedly paused the shoot of ‘Jailer 2’, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, for the trip. Produced by Sun Pictures, the much-awaited film is expected to hit theatres in June 2025, with an official release announcement on the way.

While on break, Rajinikanth continues to stay in touch with his fans — whether through small gestures, smiles, or a humble wave on his way to the Himalayas.

A Star Who Finds Power in Peace

For Rajinikanth, spirituality has always been a grounding force. From his early career days to now, he’s been open about his meditation practices and yearly visits to the Himalayas. This balance between stardom and simplicity is exactly what fans love about him — the superstar who walks barefoot on the mountains yet rules cinema like no other.
