Congress MP Shashi Tharoor’s photo of him breaking a coconut for a ritual has sparked a meme fest online, and he picked some of his favourite and funniest memes.

The Congress leader had posted some photos on Twitter on August 21 of him taking part in Onam festivities at his ancestral home.

“And then offered a “Niramala” at the Elevanchery Bhagavathy Kshetram a few minutes from my ancestral home (where I also smashed a ritual coconut & prayed to the Naga gods worshipped by all Nairs). #Onam blessings to all especially those suffering in these  troubled times,” he wrote in the caption.

In a tweet, Tharoor wrote, “There are many of these memes going around using the pic of me ritually smashing a coconut. I don’t know who dreams them up by they are often very funny. This one is one of my favourites.”

Tharoor shared four memes based on the ‘coconut-smashing’ image: him in a wrestling ring, him on the cricket pitch, him being a dancer and him pouring tea like a tea seller.
