  • Motorcycle baba

    There's a place in Rajasthan on Jodhpur-Ahmedabad highway, named as Rohet 20 kms before Pali city. This place is an accident prone site, hence a sign board has been put up to tell the traveler and commuters to slow down.
    The specialty is this area is known for a motorcycle baba, and the local use to worship him. they believe doing so will prevent accidents in that area. Story behind this Baba is, there was a Guy named Om Singh Rathore alias Om Banna of village chotilla, in 1988 he crashed on the same site while riding on his bullet. after that cops seized his bike, but the next morning the bike was missing from the police station, they searched the bike and found that the bike is standing on the accident site, they took the bike back to the police station but again next morning they found the bike at the same spot. they believed that this whole act is done by Om Banna (actually his soul). so they built a temple there (a shed only) in his memory. from then on people worship him as an accident preventer.

    I go to Rohet 4-5 times a year and have never seen this shrine.

        Saw this thread this afternoon, and thought you should be the one to approve it, as you could throw some more light on it! But, now, it seems you yourself have never seen this shrine!

            though its stupid, but nice to know that we Indians are true bikers and we buy 7 to 8 million bikes a year.
