In 1991, on a fateful summer night, Om Bana was returning from Pali to his native Chotila on his Bullet 350 when it skidded and hit a tree, killing him on the spot. The tree stands over the battered vehicle till date. Villagers say after Om Bana’s death, the motorbike was taken to a local police station. But next day morning, it was found at the accident spot. Police initially thought it was a prank and after emptying the fuel tank they brought the bike back to the station. However, the motorcycle was again at the accident spot the next day. “As soon as the story spread, people in the nearby village built a platform on the spot where the death occurred and started offering prayers,” said Chotu Singh, a resident of the nearby village.

Mahender Singh, a travel agent from Jodhpur who begins every trip with a salute to Bana, says, “Back then, only a few people would visit the temple. After tales of Om Bana riding his motorcycle on this road began to spread, his followers increased in number.” He recounts the story of one of his drivers whose vehicle skidded and fell into a ditch not far from the spot of Bana’s accident. “The driver was injured and bleeding in the vehicle when he swore that Om Bana came to him and helped him out. Such stories only increased this temple’s reputation,” Mahender Singh adds.

Travellers, especially drivers of vehicles that pass by, offer prayers at the site, which is almost in the middle of the road. Some drivers also offer a small bottle of country liquor at the site, praying for a safe journey. “Whenever I pass this area, I never forget to light incense sticks, offer liquor and lie prostrate in reverence,” said Jagdish Singh, a taxi driver. Devotees also apply the ’tilak’ mark and tie a red thread on the motorbike. “Villagers here believe Bana’s spirit still hovers around the place and they can hear the Royal Enfield rev up at night,” said Hem Singh Rajput, the resident of a nearby village.

I have read this sometime back.

People here worship cow, and use cow dung and urine for 'blessings'...! so this isn't surprising.

How was far was the local police station? Even with an "empty tank" of fuel if the station isn't far anyone could have walked the bike back to the accident spot.

I think with any "miraculous event" it needs to have other possible reasons exhausted before it can be said that it is "miraculous". The problem arises when people (like in this case) do not exhaust other possible reasons and go straight to "miracle" and start getting blessings from it or praying near it or to it.

Salam.

Lol, it is funny what ignorance can do to a people. May Allah give guidance to us all, because Guidance is in the hands of One.
