New Delhi. Harsha Richhariya, the viral girl with saintly attire and long hair like locks of hair in Mahakumbh Prayagraj, has now truly become a Sadhvi. Harsha Richhariya has taken retirement. He entered the life of a monk by taking initiation with full rituals from Moni Teerth Peethadhishwar Sumnaji Maharaj in Ujjain, the city of Mahakal. Harsha Richhariya also performed his Pind Daan as per tradition. After retirement, the name of Harsha Richhariya has also changed. He has now been named Harshanand Giri. After going viral, there was a lot of controversy regarding some old photos of Harsha.

Actually, during the Amrit Snan in Mahakumbh, Harsha was riding on the chariot of Richhariya Sannyasis. He also had other female sadhvis. During that time, a journalist saw Harsha’s looks and talked to her, after which she went viral very fast. Some people started calling Harsha as Sadhvi. At the same time, some photos of Harsha during her anchoring also went viral on her social media account, in which Harsha had come under attack from people for her clothes. However, Harsha had objected to this and said that she was not a Sadhvi. After this, due to controversy he had to leave Mahakumbh. Harsha had also warned of suicide in front of the media.

Later, Harsha also took out a padyatra from Sambhal in UP to Vrindavan to make people aware about Sanatan. However, this year in the Magh Mela, Harsha Richhariya had once again reached Prayagraj Sangam and had said that she would leave the path of religion. He had said that in one year I faced a lot of opposition. I am in debt and desperate. Harsha originally comes from a very common family of Bhopal. He has a strong fan following on social media.
