t is not an achievement that can readily be savoured by his nearest and dearest.But Kailash Singh has as good a claim as any to the accolade of world's smelliest man - after refusing to wash for more than 37 years.

Mr Singh, 65, has not bathed or cut his 6ft-long dreadlocks since 1974, shortly after he married.Explaining his unconventional decision, Mr Singh claimed a priest guaranteed him a much-prized son and heir if he followed the advice.Despite neighbours joking the sweaty farmer would be lucky persuade his wife to have any children at all, his religious guidance clearly failed - he has seven daughters.

Mr Singh spends his days tending cows in 47C heat, yet the only 'cleansing' he does allow himself is a 'fire bath' each evening, which involves smoking marijuana, praying to the Hindu Lord Shiva and dancing around a bonfire.His long-suffering family admit they did once tried to force him into a stream.'He fought us off and ran away,' said wife Kalavati Devi, 60.

'We've tried several times since to force him to have a shower but he puts up such a fuss.'He says he'd rather die than take a bath and only a son could change his mind.

Runz away for my dear life.

End shall never wonder...

Guiness book of records!!! Wetin una dey wait By the way dont tell me the wife still had s*x with him dat way:| :/

I'm surprised he's still looking light-skinned. I thought he would have become dark-skinned due to dirt. By the way, how does he go round with those hair and beards? 37 years of dirty, stinky, sticky body! I praise his wife for surviving the torture.

Why must everything happen in india?

Ds man go too smell, true love is anoda mane for his wife. Kudos to d woman

Dirty old man.

This guy is free from infections by microbes..Mosquito wey near will be dead on arrival

Does he visit people? Even Ghostbusters won't remove the painstaking odour from the house

The guy odour would be nothing of this world, planets, milky way or universe

The 'fire bath' surely cleansed him one way or another.I'm more interested on a video watching him dance with his dreadlocks and beards.The cow manure wey go dey those dreadlocks and beards no go be ordinary one

Not bath for 37 years? I am pretty sure the rain must have showered him at a point. He looks pretty clean for an old man who hasn't bathed for 37 years.


And is that even possible? He should have been down with some skin infections and the likes. Even his hair should have been infested with all manner of lice, bugs and worms!

Y do I get d feelin our hindus legislators will pass a bill in favour of not bathing?

For cryin out loud dis man needs d help of Uselu, 7 girls see bride price

7 beautiful daughters...lol

That sounds quite intriguing.

What a weird fellow, and no, I don't want to imagine the obvious. The stench must be so great that it dissolves the stench itself.

Even shiva would drive him away cos of his stench!!!

Ayama.
