It is said that he lived in the city for 20 years, blessing people and begging for alms.

Believers say that when he visited someone’s home, they would be blessed with sudden financial profit or if he stopped a shop, their business would grow. After witnessing his so-called miraculous powers, people began calling him “Laddu Muthya Avatar” as his name and influence grew in the region with many temples made for him. Reports say that Laddu Muthya died in 1993 and the baba seen in the viral reels is not actually Laddu Muthya but one of the priests of the temple dedicated to him.
