A person named Om Banna was travelling on his bike from the town of Bangdi, near Sanderao of Pali, to Chotila, on December 2, 1991. During his travel, he lost his balance at a place, and his bike got rammed into a tree, as a result of which he eventually died. The police visited the accident spot the next morning.
After their official procedure, they took the motorcycle to the police station. But mysteriously, the bike returned to the spot, the next morning. This time police took more caution and locked the biked, de-fueled it, and kept it at the police station. This time also the bike returned to the accident spot. Every attempt of police was in vain as the bike kept returning at the spot, before dawn.
The locals looked at the incident as a miracle. They believed that the spirit of Om Banna is guiding all this. The locals later built a temple around the place for worship. The news spread like fire, and people started to visit the place and worship the motorcycle. It is said that the spirit of Om Banna helps the travellers in distress during their visit to the Bullet Baba Temple Jodhpur.

The truth is shrine can be anything, but the place gives positivity and hope to people, which is what matters in the end, isn’t it? Every day thousands of people visit to offer their prayers to the bike and the Late Om Banna. The beauty of the temple and this story are enough to call ours an incredible India.
