Baba Keenaram

[citation needed] Aghoracharya Baba Keenaram was born on Chaturdashi in the month of Bhadrapad in 1601 CE at Ramgarh village (now Chandauli of Uttar Pradesh state of India).

With the blessing of Hinglaj Mata (Chief Goddess of Aghora) at the Lyari district of Balochistan (in present-day Pakistan), Keenaram started his spiritual journey with the message of social welfare and humanity.

Shiva Das observed Keenarm’s activities very minutely and was impressed by their extraordinary qualities, suspecting him to be an Avatar or a reincarnation.

One day while on the way to bathe in the river Ganges, Shiva Das handed over his entire belongings to the boy Keenaram and hid himself in nearby bushes.

In 2019, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath attended the ceremony and announced that Keenaram's birthplace would be developed by the government of Uttar Pradesh as a tourist place.
