Russian woman with two daughters found in 'spiritual hideout' in Karnataka cave

Kumta, July 12 (UNI) In an unusual tale that blends mystery, spirituality and survival, Karnataka Police today stumbled upon a Russian woman and her two young daughters living in a secluded cave nestled deep in the Ramatirtha hills of Kumta taluk in Uttara Kannada district.
The woman, 40-year-old Mohi (Nina Kutina), was found seated in serene meditation beside a Rudra idol inside the cave, which had been converted into a modest dwelling. Her daughters, six-year-old Preya and four-year-old Ama, were with her. The cave was surrounded by steep slopes and thick forest, far removed from human habitation.
The existence of the family came to light when a police patrol team, inspecting the area after a recent landslide, spotted clothes hanging out to dry near a rock face. Curious, the officers ventured closer—and uncovered a scene that felt straight out of a spiritual novella.
