I truly enjoyed this place on my trip through Rajasthan, India.
One of the strangest temples in all India stands 8 Kilometer south of Rohet. The deity at Om Bana Temple is a garland-decked Enfield Bullet motorcycle, known as Bullet Baba.
The story goes that local villager Om Bana died at this spot in the 1980s when his motorbike skidded into a tree. The bike was taken to the local police station, but then mysteriously twice made its own way back to the tree, and travellers along the road started seeing visions of Om Bana – inevitably leading to the mtorbike’s deification. Any time of day or night people can be seen at the open-air shrine, praying for safe journeys and making offerings of liquor.
Hoffentlich hast Du die Gelegenheit benutzt und Dein Bike segnen lassen, Grüsse für 2016 Tom
Lieber Tom, ich wünschte, ich hätte ein Bike. Habe nie den Motorradführerschein gemacht und besitze daher nur ein altes klappriges Rad. Dir auch ein glückliches neues Jahr! LG Sabine
