(MENAFN- Live Mint) Bengaluru : As Dussehra celebrations and burning of Ravana's effigies continued throughout India on Thursday, Hanuman ji was spotted waiting in the streets of Bengaluru. Yes, you heard that right.

The video of 'Hanuman ji' has left netizens in splits, with many social media users stating:“Ohhooo, Hanuman ji fir bhool gaye apni taakat. Unko yaad dilaao woh udd sakte hain bhayi,” meaning“Hanuman ji has forgotten his powers. Remind him he can fly.”

Why Hanuman was waiting

A man, dressed up as 'Hanuman,' purportedly for Ram Leela festival, was seen waiting by a road.

Moments later, a two-wheeler pulls up nearby. From the gestures of the rider and the person dressed up as Hanuman, it looks like the rider is double-checking an OTP before accepting the ride.
