New Thar's Grand Entrance Turns into an Accidental Exit at Delhi Showroom During Puja

The excitement of bringing home a brand-new Mahindra Thar, a symbol of adventure and ruggedness, often culminates in a traditional puja ceremony to bless the vehicle. However, for one owner in Delhi, this auspicious beginning took an unexpected, and rather dramatic, turn when his shiny new SUV made an unscheduled exit through the showroom's glass facade.

The incident, captured on a now-viral video, unfolded during what was supposed to be a joyous occasion.

As is customary, a puja was being performed to bless the vehicle before its owner took possession. A garland had just been draped over the Thar, signifying good fortune and protection.

According to eyewitness accounts and the widely circulated footage, the elderly owner, after the ritual, got into the driver's seat.

In a moment of confusion or perhaps an accidental slip, he reportedly pressed the accelerator instead of the brake pedal. The powerful Thar lurched forward with surprising force, crashing through the gleaming glass front of the showroom with a loud shatter.

The SUV didn't stop there. It continued its unplanned journey, hitting a pole situated just outside the showroom before finally coming to a halt.

Thankfully, despite the dramatic nature of the event, there were no reported injuries to the driver or any bystanders. The Thar itself sustained minor damage, primarily to its front bumper, a stark contrast to the shattered glass and the collective gasp from those present.

The video quickly became a sensation on social media platforms, eliciting a mix of shock, amusement, and sympathy.

Many viewers found humor in the irony of a blessing ceremony leading to such an immediate mishap, while others expressed concern for the owner and the potential repair costs. The incident serves as a peculiar reminder that even with the best intentions, the unexpected can sometimes occur, especially when handling powerful machinery.

While certainly an unfortunate start to his Thar ownership journey, the incident has undoubtedly given this particular vehicle a story to tell, long before it even hit the open road for its first official adventure.

It's a tale of a puja gone awry, a car with a mind of its own (or perhaps just an owner's foot in the wrong place), and a viral video that captured a truly unforgettable moment.
