A new film riding on the back of a temple in India dedicated to a motorcycle deity is making waves.
The film is inspired by a roadside temple in Jodhpur, were the deity is an old Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycle
An inebriated man driving a motorcycle on a highway is run over by a truck. Next morning, his vehicle disappears from police custody and mysteriously surfaces on the same spot where he had died. Hauled back to the police station, the motorcycle keeps returning to the roadside scene of the accident. A combination of village intrigue and superstition soon lifts the dead man into a saint and his motorcycle a deity in the desert state of Rajasthan.
The deity of the roadside temple is an old Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycle kept on a pedestal. The motorcycle belonged to local resident Om Singh Rathore who died in an accident on the highway connecting Jodhpur to Jaipur city more than three decades ago. One day he was reading The God Delusion, a 2006 book by British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins questioning personal beliefs, when Pareek remembered the motorcycle deity in Jodhpur."The idea for Dug Dug was born there," he said. Pareek soon headed for the "Bullet Baba' temple and several more across Rajasthan in the next five months for research.
