Mumbai, October 9: Veteran Tamil cinema megastar Rajinikanth is in the Himalayas, as the mountain range prepares for a thrilling spell of winters. The actor paid a visit to the Mahavatar Babaji cave, and the pictures and videos from his visit are now going viral on social media. The pictures show Rajinikanth away from the hullabaloo of stardom, as he relaxes in the lap of nature.

Earlier, the veteran actor had visited Swami Dayananda Ashram in Rishikesh and later took time out to meditate along the banks of the Ganga and participate in the Ganga Aarti. In one of the pictures, Rajinikanth was seen wearing white clothes, eating food served on disposable leaf plates placed on a stone surface by the roadside. South Superstar Rajinikanth Enjoys Simple Street Food on Pattal During Spiritual Trip to Rishikesh; Offers Tribute to Swami Dayananda.
