The owner of the Prathima business, Boinpally Srinivas Rao, recently purchased a helicopter worth $5.7 million or ₹47 crores. It is a routine practice of many Indian Hindus to take their newly bought vehicle to the temple for a ‘Vahan puja’ (vehicle puja). For those of you who may not know, Vahan puja is done for the wellness and longevity of the vehicle. While most Indians take their two-wheeler or four-wheeler for this puja, this businessman from Telangana took his Airbus ACH 135. Who can blame him? If you spent ₹47 crores on a vehicle, you too would want it to function well and last for a long time.

Reports said that, along with his family, B. S. Rao flew his newly bought helicopter to a temple in Yadadri. This temple is dedicated to Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy. The short video shared on Twitter shows a snippet of the puja. At least three priests are shown to be involved in the puja.
