A video of a specially-abled baba has been going viral on Instagram, showing him stopping a ceiling fan with his bare hand. The now-viral videos also feature the song “Laddu Muttya” playing in the background. After the video went viral, people not only recreated it but also danced to Lattu Mutya song. But the big question remains – who is the baba featured in these popular Instagram Reels?
Before we introduce the viral pankha baba, let us take you through the viral video. In the video, a group of people can be seen lifting the baba, who is seated in a chair, allowing him to reach the ceiling fan. As the video goes on, he touches the fan several times before eventually stopping it. He then blesses his devotees who assisted him in doing so by putting the dust on their foreheads. Once the devotees lower him back to the ground, the ceiling fan resumes spinning at high speed. All this while, a song dedicated to him plays in the background.

All About Laddu Mutya aka Pankha Baba
Laddu Mutya, who was specially-abled, reportedly ram away form his home to avoid getting married. He came to Karnataka’s Bagalkote in a truck. Over the next 20 years in the city, he survived on “Bhiksha” (alms) and lived a life marked by hardship. Despite his struggles, it was believed that wherever he went, prosperity followed. If he visited someone’s home, they would experience financial gains; if he stopped by a shop, the business would thrive.
This led people to believe that he possessed miraculous powers and began calling him “Laddu Mutya” – a name that became widely known as stories of his influence spread across the region.
If reports are to be believed, Laddu Mutya died in 1993, following which people built temples in his name in Bagalkote, where he was revered as a spiritual figure. The man seen in the viral reels is not actually Laddu Mutya but one of the priests from the temple dedicated to the Pankha baba.
