Man in Bengaluru Shocked to Discover Parents Using Avocados for Puja

For most of us, dehydrated fruits, plantains, and pome fruits have always been part of Hindu puja offerings. However, now, a family substituted outlandish fruits for the original ones. Sharing on X, user Dharmesh Ba revealed that his family presented avocados to the deities instead of plantains. This unorthodox selection of fruit for puja amused many social media users. While some found the post amusing, others questioned the suitability of using a foreign fruit for religious ceremonies. Nevertheless, Mr. Ba’s parents appeared to have a positive perspective.

“Parents are in town, and their offerings to God have been upgraded from plantains to avocados,” Mr. Ba posted on the micro-blogging platform while sharing an image of the exotic fruit.

Recently, an automated pani puri vending machine in Bengaluru also gained popularity on social media. As per the viral post, the unique machine is situated in HSR Layout. Installed by What The Flavours, the stall features a staff member who assembles a standard plate of puri with its ingredients and serves it to the customers. They can then utilize the pipes attached to the structure to select from various tamarind water options. Notably, the vending machine is equipped with sensors and pipes so that it can detect when the snack is placed underneath it and dispense the flavored water accordingly.
