The presence of supercars in India is undeniably increasing. New owners are embracing their foreign-made cars with a touch of Indian tradition, complete with rituals and prayers. Recently, a wealthy businessman from Mumbai took delivery of a brand-new McLaren 720S and ensured that the car received a customary welcome. Following the customs observed by many new car buyers in India, he took the car to a nearby temple to undergo an elaborate ritual.
The video showcases the McLaren 720S driving on the public roads of Mumbai. The owner and his family visit a temple where priests perform rituals on the car, as seen in a few pictures. Along the way, numerous enthusiasts also take selfie pictures with the McLaren.
In India, performing rituals for the longevity of vehicles is a common practice known as Vahaan Pooja. This tradition extends to various occasions, and we have witnessed several celebrities, including Karan Johar, Kartik Aryan, and others, participating in similar ceremonies to bless their vehicles.
