This picture was taken back in September 1985 by journalist Ashok Tandon. Shows the site of Gumnami Baba's cremation at Guptar Ghat, Ayodhya. Bhagwan Ram took jal samadhi here in treta yug.

The samadhi site today:
Regarding Gumnami Baba controversy know this basic fact: The claim that he was not Netaji is mostly based on negative handwriting/DNA reports given by sarkari experts. We now know that Sarkari reports were fake, a fraud perpetrated by MGBs (the ruling elite).
Local journalists have also claimed that then Central govt led by Rajiv Gandhi stoked the Ram temple-Babari mosque fire to divert public attention from Gumnami Baba issue.
