Mahakumbh Nagar. Shriyamaai Mamtanand Giri (former name Mamta Kulkarni), who left the film world and took the path of spirituality, has changed her decision. She has announced to remain Mahamandaleshwar.
On Thursday evening, she released a video message saying- ‘Two days ago, some people had made false allegations against my Pattaguru Dr. Laxmi Narayan Tripathi, due to which I resigned from the post of Mahamandaleshwar, which he rejected’.
Mamta further said, ‘The Guru gift which was given to Dr. Laxmi Narayan was for umbrella, chavar, stick and bhandaar. I dedicate my life to Kinnar Akhara and Sanatan Dharma.’

Mamta’s coronation took place on 24 January
Mamta Kulkarni’s coronation took place on 24 January in Kinnar Akhara. The Acharya Mahamandaleshwar of the Akhara, Dr. Laxmi Narayan Tripathi, gave her a new name, Shriyamai Mamtanand Giri.
Many saints, including Shambhavi Peethadheeswar Swami Anand Swaroop and Himangi Sakhi, strongly opposed Mamta’s becoming the Mahamandaleshwar. They said that she has connections with the underworld. A case of treason has been filed against her. It is inappropriate to confer the title of Mahamandaleshwar to such a person.
After this, the case of Himangi Sakhi being beaten up came to light. It was alleged that Laxmi Narayan’s disciples beat her up for opposing Mamta Kulkarni. After this, on the afternoon of February 10, Mamta released a video message and announced that she was leaving the title of Mahamandaleshwar.
