An Indian holy man, Doulat Giri Ji Maharaj, has been standing continuously for five years as part of a twelve-year vow to remain standing or lying down. Maharaj belongs to the Khadkeshwari community, where practitioners engage in prolonged standing as a form of spiritual discipline aimed at self-purification and attaining closeness to Lord Shiva. To support this arduous practice, ascetics utilize ropes, swings, or specialized harnesses to prevent their legs from becoming completely numb. The practice demonstrates extreme dedication and physical endurance. Details regarding the long-term health effects of this practice are currently unavailable. The ascetic continues his vow, attracting attention for his unwavering commitment.
