At 9:30 a.m. on the third Monday of the Sawan month, a helicopter hovered over the Baba Gharibnath Dham in Muzaffarpur and released a shower of rose petals onto the devotees and the surrounding trees. The event was organized by the temple committee as part of the traditional Sawan celebrations.
The temple courtyard filled with the scent of roses while the crowd erupted in chants of "Har Har Mahadev" and "Bol Bam," echoing through the complex. Local priests described the moment as a rare and auspicious spectacle for the faithful.
Such flower showers are a customary way to honor Lord Shiva during Sawan, and the helicopter drop added a modern twist to the age‑old ritual, drawing attention from both devotees and media covering the event.
