Did You Know About This Rajasthan Temple Dedicated To Bullet? Here's Curious Tale Of Bullet Baba Shrine

Rajasthan's Bullet Baba or Om Banna, one of the most unusual places in India, has captivated visitors. This temple's deity is a Bullet Bike. This charming shrine is located in Jodhpur's Pali district.

Have you heard of the Bullet Baba Temple? It's a shrine where people can pray to the Bullet bike. It may surprise you, but this temple, also known as the Om Banna Shrine, is located in Rajasthan, about 50 kilometres from Jodhpur. If you happen to visit this location, you will notice people crossing this area, paying their respects to the motorbike, while others blow their vehicle's horns in the form of prayer for a safe journey ahead. According to the reports, some even offer beer to spread the message "Don't Drink and Drive."

Om Baba owned this bullet bike, which was involved in an accident and died on the spot. Every time the cops attempted to move away from the bike, it miraculously landed in the same spot as the accident. Now, a shrine has been built there, and the bike remains in the same location, where it is revered by tourists in particular.

THE LEGEND OF RAJASTHAN'S BULLET BABA SHRINE: 

As one approaches the temple, one can see a tree decorated with red threads, bangles, flowers, and incense sticks. There are devotees walking around the tree, and once past that, there's this 1980s model, 350 cc Royal Enfield motorcycle neatly placed inside a glass frame and heavily garlanded. There will also be a large framed picture of Om Banna. According to legend, Om Banna's motorbike lost control and crashed into a tree on December 2, 1988, at 10 pm He was the motorcycle's driver, and his friend was the pillion rider. When his motorbike was involved in an accident, he died, but his friend survived.

According to media reports citing witnesses, the police then conducted an investigation and removed the motorbike from the scene the next morning. According to witnesses, the motorbike then began to leave the police station and travel to the accident site on its own. When the police realised what had happened, they took the bike from the accident site to the police station, only to discover that it had left the police station and returned to the accident site.

It was later decided that the motorbike would be delivered to the home of Hukma Rama, a potter. Nonetheless, the miracle continued, and the motorbike returned to the accident site. Finally, it was decided that the motorbike would be placed near the accident site, near the tree, and that it would never leave that location.

As a result, ardent devotees built a shrine there and renamed the bike "Bullet Baba." According to popular belief, Om Banna's wandering soul aids travellers on their journey. If you ever visit this location, you will hear many miracle stories related to this phenomenon.
