Bullet Baba Temple- a One-of-a-Kind Temple in the World!
The Om Banna Dham or Bullet Baba temple is a unique temple located on the NH-62 Jodhpur-Pali Expressway in which a Royal Enfield Bullet 350 is worshiped! If we were to believe the locals, Om Banna's ghost is claimed to still ride his Bullet on the aforementioned highway and assist the stranded motorists. People from across the country come to the Bullet Baba temple to bow down for their happiness and safety before embarking on a road journey. Om Singh Rathore, a young boy from Bangdi in Rajasthan, was traveling toward his hometown of Chotila near Pali that fatal night about 30 years ago when he lost control of his motorcycle. Om died instantly when the bike collided with a tree. The bike was taken into custody by the local police, but the very following day it suddenly vanished from the police station where it was parked and was discovered at the scene of the accident. The police took Om Banna's Royal Enfield Bullet 350 with registration number RNJ-7773 back to their station after initially believing it was an anti-social element act. This time, the bike was chained up and the gasoline tank was emptied. To everyone's surprise, the motorcycle continued to show up at the scene of the collision despite all of these efforts. Every time the policemen tried to retain the bike at their station, the bike returned to the scene of the accident on its own before the break of dawn. Soon after, the news quickly spread like wildfire to the adjacent villages, and ever since, locals have been worshipping the "Bullet Bike" and calling the temple Bullet Baba or Om Banna Dham. Om Banna's ghost is said to still ride his motorcycle on the NH-62 Jodhpur-Pali highway, where the accident occurred, and aid the grieving motorists. The locals of Chotila village also hold the opinion that Om Singh Rathore's passing in particular, as well as the recent sharp decline in road accidents in the area, is evidence that Om Banna's ghost protects travelers.
