New TVS NTorq 150, Orbiter Electric Scooter, And King Kargo EV Gifted To Guruvayur Temple
In India, people often make offerings to temples and their deities to express gratitude, seek blessings, and foster their inner peace. Even automotive manufacturers offer their products to temples and other religious institutions. The latest such news comes from Kerala. TVS Motor Company has given its latest products- the NTorq 150, Orbiter electric scooter, and the King Kargo EV to the Guruvayur temple in offerings.
Vehicles Handed Over On Video
The Chennai-based manufacturer has already handed over the vehicles to the temple authorities. A video of this has now surfaced online. It shows the three products- two scooters and the three-wheeler EV- parked at the entrance of the temple.
A Pujari (priest) is seen doing rituals on these. A person, likely a key figure at TVS, hands over the keys. The video then shows more visuals of the temple and the crowd there.
More About These Offerings
This time, TVS has offered the deity its latest launches. The King Kargo EV, Orbiter and the new NTorq 150 were all launched in the last two months.

Not The First Such Case At Guruvayur
This isn’t the first time that TVS has offered vehicles to the Guruvayur temple. In April this year, the company had gifted the temple five iQube electric scooters. In March 2006, a brand-new TVS Apache 150 was also offered to the same temple.
Mahindra made headlines when it handed over a brand-new 3-door Thar to the temple authorities, soon after the SUVs went on sale here.
