Nizamabad: At a time when a majority of people participate enthusiastically on the occasion of Holi, the festival of colours and spray themselves with various water colours, a noted Yoga guru Siddharamulu, celebrates with his followers in a different manner. Along with his disciples, he undertakes a special mud bath to keep healthy physically and mentally.
Speaking to The Hans India here on Friday, Siddharamulu said that the mud bath was taken with a paste prepared by mixing nearly 169 herbal plants having ayurvdic medicinal values and added that he had been conducting mud baths on the day of Holi festival for the past 24 years.

After the body gets dry, sushki yoga is performed and the entire group sits in meditation called dhyana yoga. After taking bath, a moolakayuktha yagnam would be performed to purify the environment, he added.
Siddharamulu said that he along with his followers take mud bath on the third Sunday of every month at Kanchanbagh in Nagaram in the town.
