Om Banna (also called Shri Om Banna and #BulletBaba) is a shrine located in Pali district near #Jodhpur, India, devoted to a deity. called #OmBanna. It is located 20 kilometres (12 mi) from #Pali and 53 kilometres (33 mi) away from Jodphur on the Pali-Jodhpur highway, near #ChotilaVillage. The motorcycle is a 350cc Royal Enfield Bullet RNJ 7773. On 2 December 1988, Om Banna (formerly known as Om Singh Rathore; banna, a honorary word used for Rajput youth) was travelling from the town of Bangdi near Sanderao of Pali, to Chotila, when he lost control of his motorcycle and hit a tree. He died on the spot whereas the motorcycle fell into a nearby ditch. The morning after the accident, local police took the motorcycle to a nearby police station. The next day it was reported to have mysteriously disappeared from the station and was found back at the site of the incident. Police, once again, took the motorcycle, this time emptying its fuel tank and putting it under lock and key. Despite their efforts, the next morning it again disappeared and was found at the accident site. Legend says that the motorcycle kept returning to the same ditch. It thwarted every attempt by police to keep it at the local police station; the motorcycle always returned to the same spot before dawn. This came to be seen as a miracle by local population, and they began to worship the "Bullet Bike." News of the miracle motorcycle spread to nearby villages, and later they built a temple to worship it. This temple is known as "Bullet Baba's Temple." It is believed that Om Banna's spirit helps distressed travellers. Hundreds of devotees turn up every day to pray for a safe journey.
