But what happened to this uncle? Why did aunty buried him in the ground and chanting "Har Har Mahadev" for some magic?
It really makes me laugh and wonder why people do such things. Sheer stupidity. pic.twitter.com/KQKUE46LO3
Devotion or drama?
In the clip, the woman can be seen carefully offering flowers and pouring milk over her husband’s head in what looks like a symbolic ‘doodh abhishek.’ Her chants echo as she completes the ritual with full seriousness, while her husband patiently plays along, quite literally rooted to the spot.
While the intent behind the ritual remains unclear, the visuals alone were enough to send social media into a frenzy.

The comment section goes wild
Reactions poured in within minutes. One user bluntly wrote, “It really makes me laugh and wonder why people do such things. Sheer stupidity.”
But not everyone was in a mocking mood. Some stepped in to defend the act, suggesting it could be a lesser-known regional or tribal ritual. “You want to laugh at rituals? Every race, every religion in the world has their own rituals. So, you may end up laughing for the rest of your life. What doesn’t concern you, should not bother you,” another user commented.

And of course, sarcasm wasn’t far behind. One viral reply read, “Yeh Sanatan Dharam hai! Parampara hai! Pati Parmeshwar hai! Yeh Incredible India hai!”
Faith, fun, or viral fame?
Whether it’s a genuine tradition, a symbolic act of devotion, or simply a quirky moment caught on camera, the video has done what viral content does best, spark conversation.
