In India, whenever we buy a new vehicle, it is welcomed into the family. It is often considered a part of our family, and we treat or welcome it by performing pooja rituals. In the past, many Indians have migrated to foreign countries for work, but that has not stopped them from following such traditions.


Here, we have one such video where an Indian living in the USA performs religious rituals on his brand-new semi-truck. The video has been shared by Neerav Rao on his Instagram page. In this video, we see a man picking up a woman and asking her to place her foot impression on the bonnet of the truck. We are not sure if the woman seen in the video is Neerav Rao’s wife or not.

The video gives us a glimpse of the truck he recently bought and ends there. The owner has named his new truck "Blue Whale" simply because it is huge and finished in a shade of blue. The truck is a semi from the Freightliner brand. We see Rao transport sticker on the door of the semi. It looks like this is not the first time Neerav is buying a truck or may be he just upgraded to a new model. Most of the comments under this video congratulate the owner, while some appreciate him for following Indian rituals.

As usual, there are negative comments too. Some people believe the owner was disrespecting the vehicle by making someone leave their foot impressions, while others were concerned about the paint job. All we have to say is that this is part of someone’s belief, and it is not right to mock it.

In the past, we have seen many millionaires in India who own expensive and exotic cars performing similar rituals. We have seen people conduct religious ceremonies on luxury cars like the Lamborghini Huracán outside dealerships.

If you think performing such rituals on an exotic car is excessive, you might be surprised to know that a businessman from Hyderabad, Boinpally Srinivas Rao, took his brand-new Airbus helicopter to the Yadadri temple to perform Vahan Puja. He bought an Airbus ACH-135 helicopter, which costs roughly Rs 50 crore.

This is not the first time we have seen an Indian perform such rituals on foreign soil. We recently came across a video where an American woman, married to an Indian in the USA, was seen performing religious rituals on a brand-new Tesla that her husband gifted her.

Additionally, we have also seen a video of an Indian who bought a light aircraft and performed elaborate pooja rituals before taking the first flight. He had purchased a Piper Cherokee 140 aircraft, a family of two- and four-seater light aircraft built by Piper Aircraft. This aircraft is designed for flight training, air taxi services, and personal use.

The Piper Cherokee 140 is a single-propeller, lightweight aircraft. It was launched in 1964 and was initially designed for training, with only two seats. The engine on this aircraft generates 150 PS. Later, in 1971, a four-seater version of the same aircraft was also launched.
