Engineer-turned-spiritual figure, who gained fame at Mahakumbh, ties the knot on Mahashivratri in Himachal Pradesh
Abhey Singh, widely known as “IIT Baba,” has once again captured public attention—this time for his wedding. The former aerospace engineer-turned-spiritual figure reportedly married a Bengaluru-based engineer, Pratika, in a ceremony held on February 15 in Himachal Pradesh, coinciding with the festival of Maha Shivaratri.
The news gained traction after the couple visited Singh’s hometown in Jhajjar, Haryana, where locals gathered in large numbers to catch a glimpse of them. Photos and videos from the wedding and their visit have since gone viral, drawing widespread curiosity.
Abhey Singh, who studied aerospace engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, first rose to prominence during the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj. His ability to articulate spiritual ideas in fluent English made him stand out, earning him the nickname “IIT Baba.”
According to reports, Singh and Pratika knew each other for nearly a year before getting married. Speaking about their relationship, Pratika said it began as a friendship and gradually deepened over time. She described Singh as a “simple, honest and truthful” person and said they are happy together.

Singh’s journey has been unconventional. After completing his education, he chose to step away from a career in science to pursue a spiritual path. He has previously shared that he spent time in Mumbai exploring photography and the arts before dedicating himself to spirituality.
A devotee of Lord Shiva, Singh often speaks about the intersection of science and spirituality. He believes that while science explains the physical world, a deeper understanding of it can guide individuals toward spiritual awareness.
His recent marriage has added a new chapter to his life, blending his spiritual identity with a personal milestone. As videos and images continue to circulate online, the story of “IIT Baba” remains a topic of fascination across the country.
