Sri Lanka - Hindu bus ceremony

We stopped in to see a beautiful Hindu temple and were lucky enough to witness a bus blessing. 


Sadly you are looking at a very unlucky bus. We don't know the full history of bad luck - perhaps an accident?  perhaps frequent breakdowns? All we know is that it is unlucky enough to need a hindu priests intervention.

Step 1 - pay the hindu priest

Step 2 - limes are placed under every tire.


Step 3 - light a coconut on fire and walk around the bus 3 times.

Step 4 - hand the coconut back the priest who then smashes it on the ground.

Step 5 - drive over the limes and crush them.


With that you now have a lucky bus.
