Kodi Rammurthy Naidu (also known as Rama Murti Naidu and Prof. Rammurty) was an Indian strongman, bodybuilder, wrestler and an important figure in India’s physical culture history. He was renowned for his strength and physical prowess and for feats such as stopping two cars using his muscle power and taking an elephant on his chest.[1] He was awarded the title of "Indian Hercules" by King George V. He is also known by the epithets "Kaliyuga Bhima" (transl. Bhima of Kaliyuga), "Indian Sandow", "Malla Marthanda" (lit. 'The Sun of Malla-yuddha').[2]
