A motorbike involved in an accident,taken to the Police station, returned to the accident spot the next Day.
This , is Chotila Village,Rajasthan.
A temple has been built and the Old Bullet Motorbike stands there even today!
One day Om Banna showed miracle to his grandmother by appearing at night and saying I am not dead, I am alive. He also requested his grandmother to donate two bigha land to Hemraj Purohit which was done. They say only after six months of death Om Banna started showing miracles to village people and faith developed among them. Many truck drivers driving at National Highway 65 said they felt that someone sitting with them during night hours and many stories how Om Banna saved few accidents.
Om Banna died at the age of 23 or 24 years and was the only son of his father. His son Maha Prakrami Singh is 23 years old now was born two months after that accident. Late Om Banna grandmother is no more alive but father Shree Jog Singh stay at Chotila village three km from the shrine.
Eight days after Diwali there is huge gathering of devotees at this location. The location where currently worship is done was actually land for cattles to graze but as it was an accident place and number of devotees was increasing the land was transferred to Om Banna’s father and equal size of land was donated by Om Banna’s father for cattle graze little away from shrine. Last 20 years motorcycle was near to Jaal tree but as NH 65 widening was going on nine months back it was shifted little inside close to fields.
Buses from Jodhpur Bus Depot for Pali, Sanderao, Abu Road will drop you at Om Banna.
A small dharamshala is there if you want to stay at night or a stop in a day for prayers and a little rest.
We went to Chotila village to meet Om Banna’s father. He is old but welcoming guest is his priority. We were offered water, tea and talks for hours. We saw a 1962 model Russian make tractor not in use since Banna death was purchased for Rs. 13,100 only. Om Banna son is currently studying at college. We met him at shrine location. We were showed an article about a film in making under Koyal Film Production banner Mumbai very shortly. In short it was a new experience.
