The Story in Brief
Six shiv bhakts from Delhi's Nawada village created a stir in Muzaffarnagar by carrying a Kanwar shaped like a McLaren sports car. The group, led by Deepak Sharma, spent Rs 7-8 lakh to build the dummy car. They collected 40 litres of Ganga jal from Har Ki Paidi in Haridwar on July 28. Their aim is to reach a Shiva temple in Nawada for jal abhishek, praying for family peace. Many onlookers mistook the replica for a real luxury car worth Rs 5 crore.
The Indian Opinion
The story of a Rs 8 lakh dummy McLaren in a Kanwar yatra has been spun into a spectacle, but it reveals a deeper truth. Some will call it a gimmick, others devotion's creative expression. Yet the real question is not about the car's cost or authenticity. It is about why we celebrate form over faith. The yatra's essence, a simple pot of Ganga jal, gets lost in the noise. Watch if this 'innovation' inspires others to outdo each other in next year's Kanwar, or if devotion can return to basics. The number to track is how many such 'unique' kanwars appear next Sawan.
