Raja D King to Host ‘iPhone Langar’ Giveaway in Chandigarh on Sept 22

Rakesh Trehan – the man who’s more commonly known as ‘Raja D King’ – has finally put a date on the much‑whispered iPhone Langar. According to him, the timing wasn’t random; he says a spiritual message from ‘Jai Mata Di’ pointed to September 22 as the day to hand out Apple’s newest flagship, the iPhone 17, in Chandigarh.

He told ANI that he’d expected the date to arrive later – maybe a week or two after September 21 – but ‘Jai Mata Di’ apparently nudged him to act sooner. The giveaway window is narrow: just two hours, from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m., and anyone in the city (or the neighboring Mohali) can line up for a chance at a blessed device.

What makes this “langar” different from a regular contest, Trehan insists, is the intention behind it. He describes years of personal devotion, giving up worldly ties to focus on a higher power, and now sees the iPhone hand‑outs as a form of prasad – a sacred offering shared with the community. “There’s no favoritism, no bias,” he added, inviting media houses to livestream the whole thing.

He also hinted that this is just the first of many. On the same day, he promises to announce ten more cities in Punjab where similar giveaways will happen. A later date – possibly the 5th of the next month – will bring the next round, followed by a flurry of events across 15 more cities, and eventually, he says, “the whole world.”

Why the iPhone 17 and not an older model? Trehan explains that the spiritual voice first suggested “any iPhone people like” – be it an iPhone 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 – but later “intervened” to narrow it down. He claims that offering a 16 would cause envy when others get a 17, so the decision was to stick with the newest, costlier model, roughly ₹1 lakh. “If someone gets an iPhone 16 they’ll be happy, but then they’ll ask, ‘Why didn’t I get a 17?’” he said.

The event has already stirred a buzz online, with fans speculating about the logistics, the authenticity of the spiritual claim, and the sheer scale of gifting such expensive devices. Whether you view it as a genuine act of devotion, a publicity stunt, or a blend of both, the upcoming iPhone Langar is set to be one of the most talked‑about giveaways of the year.
