A video has gone viral on social media for a peculiar reason. It shows a devotee stuck under an elephant statue at a temple. It appears that he was performing a ritual when he got stuck there by accident. The video was shared by Twitter user Nitin and it has over 1 lakh views. However, the location of the temple couldn’t be ascertained.

The video shows a man stuck under an elephant statue at a temple. While it is not quite sure how he got there, now, he was struggling to get himself out of it.

Despite trying his level best to squeeze himself out of the narrow space, he wasn’t really successful. That is when other devotees present at the temple joined hands to help the man in trouble. You can hear several people in the background instructing him to use certain techniques to get himself out from under the statue. It appears that even the priest came down to help him. One of the people present there recorded this video.

However, the video ends on a cliffhanger. We aren’t quite sure if he managed to come out of it finally.

“Any kind of excessive bhakti is injurious to health,” the video caption reads.

The video triggered an array of reactions. Some users were confused as to how the man landed in this situation; others were concerned if he was able to come out of it safely.
