A video of the Hindu God Hanuman (Bajrangbali) strapped to a drone has surfaced online and taken social media by storm. The clip, which is said to be shot in Ambikapur, Chattisgarh shows people releasing the drone into the sky, reminiscent to Lord Hanuman flying. The video was first shared on Instagram by Vinal Gupta, who is a photographer and keeps sharing captivating pictures of the city on social media.
The video is believed to have been captured during the Dussehra celebrations that just concluded a few days back. The drone shaped like the divine figure of Lord Hanuman, soaring gracefully in the sky seems to be bestowing blessing on the people from above.
This is not the first time that someone has assimilated technology with faith. A similar video had surfaced on YouTube in 2015 with the title, "Pawan Putra Hanuman (Drone ) Flying in the Sky of Indore". In this video too, a drone-strapped Hanuman idol could be seen flying in the sky. The description of the video revealed it was captured by RJ Navneet at Bengali Square Indore.
Vijayadashmi was celebrated on Tuesday, October 24 across the country with different rituals and activities to mark the triumph of good over evil. Huge effigies of demon king Ravana, his son Meghnad, and brother Kumbhakarna went up in flames at various grounds across the country in celebrations attended by common people as well as political leaders.
Aristes playing the roles of Lord Ram, Laxman, and Goddess Sita were seen across the nation torching the effigies up in flames.
