Even a heatwave cannot stop Indians from celebrating their traditions with utmost enthusiasm. When the northern states of the country are suffering with the "hottest summer ever", a video of an Indian baraat is going viral on social media platforms. In the trending video, a groom is seen sitting on a mare under a jumbo sunshade in order to beat the heat on the road during a wedding ceremony (baraat). His people or the baraati's can be seen grooving to the tunes of wedding songs.
Viral video
The video is from Surat and has been shared by a person with Twitter username @Chopsyturvey. He captioned it as, "Sun shade and mobile secure enclosure for barat. Innovations galore."
Netizens reaction
The video was bombarded with comments and reaction by the Desi netizens. While a section of them appreciated the 'Indian Jugaad', the others thought it to be a disaster for Indian traffic and simply dissed it.
One of the users wrote, "What heat wave!!? Nothing can stop an Indian wedding... Add a couple of solar panels and the #GreatIndianJugaad is complete :)."
A user disapproved this innovation and said, "I am sorry to say, but this is a major nuisance for other road users. Incase an emergency vehicle needs to pass through,and without an enclosure, you will be able to step aside quickly. Nothing but a "selfish" innovation. "
