Radhe Maa and India’s 'godmen': A look into faith, fear, and controversy | BBC News India

Last year, over 120 people lost their lives in a crush at a religious gathering led by a self-proclaimed Indian 'godman'. India is home to many such figures, who claim divine powers - some of whom have faced allegations of misconduct, corruption, and even sexual assault. Yet, they continue to draw massive followings. The BBC's Divya Arya gained rare access to one of the few 'godwomen', Radhe Maa, to explore this complex world of devotion and fear.
