Chandigarh, December 15

The first thing most people do after buying a new vehicle is take it to the temple for the ritual called ‘Vahan Puja’. The culture is quite established across the country where people take their two-wheeler or four-wheeler, be it for commercial or personal use, for offering prayers for the machine’s well-functioning but you might have at no time heard about someone taking a brand new helicopter to temple for the traditional rituals. Well such one of a kind incident took place in Telangana where a businessman took his Airbus ACH 135, worth an estimated $5.7 million (or nearly Rs 47 crore), at a temple for ‘Vahan Puja’.

A video in this context has been doing the rounds across social media platforms.
