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.
How quirky!
