::News4u:: » Weaving magic: ‘Indian Spiderman’ a hit among tourists

News4u-News Desk-Chitradurga (K’taka), jaishree- He is no marvel comic superhero that lives in the imagination of men, but a 22-year-old flesh-and-blood character who can scale a 300 feet wall, dangle upside down glued to walls and jut out at 90 degree angle– all without the spiderman paraphernalia!

Jyothiraju, popularly known as the ‘Indian Spiderman’, is among ‘must-to-be-watched’ list of tourist attractions in the little town of Chitradurga in Karnataka.

Far from being the image of the Lee-Ditko created western character, this tanned-sinewed youth, sans the costumed blue and red webbed apparel and one who neatly tucks his hair in place with a band, is a rather rustic version of Spiderman, but one with skills close to the fiction hero. With PTI.
