Venezuelan VP Delcy Rodríguez visits Sai Baba mausoleum, deepening regime's spiritual ties

Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez has made three visits to the mausoleum of Indian guru Sai Baba, who was revered by President Nicolás Maduro and his wife. This signals a continued, unusual personal and ideological bond between Venezuela's leadership and the late spiritual figure, potentially reflecting regime's reliance on non-traditional sources of legitimacy. The visits are symbolic and unlikely to affect policy, but they underscore the regime's idiosyncratic governance style.
