Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] February 13: At the Mahakumbh Mela on Wednesday, Abhinav Arora, an creator of spiritual content, was seen on camera carrying a Dior bag. Just before taking the holy dip in the Sagam, which is the meeting point of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the fabled Saraswati rivers, the 10-year-old held to the backpack. He was seen telling the camera he was going to take the holy dip while holding the black Dior Bagpack in a video posted to his Instagram channel.
“Mahakumbh mein bheed lagi hai bhaari. Radha Rani ki dripa se, Sangam mein dubki lagane ki aa gayi meri baari,” Said Abhinav Arora whilw standing near the river.

Abhinav Arora, who those who admire him sometimes call him as "Bal Sant" or "child saint," has created an online identity as a religious person who dedicates his time to prayer rather than important issues. The 10-year-old received backlash on social media once more for presenting himself as a child who wore Dior, which was clearly incompatible with his identity as a creator of spiritual content.
“To all those who mocked poor Abhinav, at such a young age he has managed to get himself a Dior bag which costs lakhs and has also taken it to Prayag! What have you achieved?” Sanjoy Ghose, an X user asked.

On the company's website, an identical Dior bag costs just over ₹2 lakhs.
Responses to the Dior bag
Several people expressed their belief that Abhinav Arora was exploiting the spirituality label to make money in the comments area of Ghose's X post.
"I love this. And I believe that Abhinav's route is the simplest approach to earn a lot of money quickly. And that's perfectly acceptable," one X user wrote.
Another person questioned, "How does such materialism aid in spirituality?" He was likened by some to spiritual singer Jaya Kishori, who stirred up controversy last year when she was seen with a Dior purse.
Some even questioned if Abhinav was carrying a real or fake backpack in this instance.
This is not the first time that the 10-year-old has faced public scrutiny and trolling. In December, he even approached a Delhi court seeking an FIR against YouTubers who trolled him.
