Many people aspire to visit the famous Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, but for some, it remains an unfulfilled dream. Anish Bhagat, an Instagram influencer, discovered that his building’s security guard, Byas, also had this dream. He decided to surprise Byas with a trip to Ayodhya, capturing their entire journey on video.
The post, shared a few days ago on social media, has garnered 1.8 million likes and numerous comments.
The influencer previously garnered attention after visiting Prachi Nigam, the Class 10 UP Board topper who had been trolled for her facial hair. He traveled to Ms. Nigam’s home in Mahmudabad and documented the journey and his experience meeting her.
The reel begins with a brief introduction of Byas, whom Bhagat describes as a person who is “always smiling and helping others.” The video progresses to show Bhagat initiating a conversation with Byas, during which he learns that Byas is around 65 years old and has been abandoned by his only son due to the financial burden.
When Byas mentions his wish to visit Ram Mandir, Bhagat immediately decides to make it happen. Initially, Byas is in disbelief when Bhagat proposes a same-day trip to Ayodhya. However, after receiving reassurance from Bhagat, he becomes excited about the journey. On the flight, Byas talks non-stop about his son and his achievements.
Upon reaching Ayodhya, the two enthusiastically enter the temple and wait in line with other visitors. They participate in the temple ceremonies to receive blessings.
Many people were delighted to see the two visiting the holy place and appreciated Bhagat’s kindness.
