If you are a biker than then you must have heard that the bike for a biker is like shrine to him, which basically means that he should take care of it like a god.

But

What if I say that there is actually a place where bike is worshiped then?

Well I am talking about the Om Banna temple of Jodhpur.

It is a shrine located in Pali district of jodhpur devoted to deity in the form of a motorcycle.

But why?

Well it is said that on the night of 2nd December 1991 the boy name Om Singh Rathor was travelling from the town of Bangdi to Chotila, when he lost control of his motorcycle and hit a tree.

He died on the spot whereas the motorcycle fell into a nearby ditch. The morning after the accident, local police took the motorcycle to a nearby police station. The next day it was reported to have mysteriously disappeared from the station and was found back at the site of the incident.

Police, once again, took the motorcycle, this time emptying its fuel tank and putting it under lock and key. Despite their efforts, the next morning it again disappeared and was found at the accident site.

The motorcycle failed every attempt by police to keep it at the local police station; it always returned to the same spot before dawn.

This drew the attention of local people and they started seeing it as a miracle & began to worship the “Bullet Bike.”

The spread like fire to nearby villages & later they built a temple to worship it.

That Temple is known as “Bullet Baba’s Temple.” It is believed that Om Banna’s spirit helps distressed travelers.

And from that day onwards every day nearby villagers and travelers stop and pray to the bike and its late owner Om Singh Rathore. Those bikers who pass through the village stop to bow their heads leave offerings in honor of the helpful spirit,

It is said that a person who does not stop to pray at the shrine is in for a dangerous journey.
