For the majority of us, dry fruits, bananas and apples have always been part of Hindu puja offerings. But now, a family substituted exotic fruits for the original ones. Taking to X, user Dharmesh Ba shared that his family offered avocados to the gods in place of bananas. This unconventional choice of fruit for puja left many social media users in splits. While some found the post hilarious, others questioned the appropriateness of using a foreign fruit for religious rituals. However, Mr Ba's parents seemed to have a positive outlook.
"Parents are in town, and their offerings to God have been upgraded from bananas to avocados," Mr Ba wrote on the micro-blogging while sharing a picture of the exotic fruit.
Take a look below:
Mr Ba shared the post just a few days back. Since then, it has accumulated more than 5,500 views and several likes.
"What are they, millennials?" wrote one user. To this, the original poster replied, "We are millennials."
"God on low carbs!" commented another user. "lol, tastes evolve so does offerings," added another.
"Not middle class anymore avocado class," expressed a third user. "Guacamole and chips as Prasad," jokingly wrote a fourth X user.

"No gods like this foreigner, pls change back to Bananas," expressed another.
"But can it also tolerate being stabbed by agarbattis? Potential to give the banana some rest from stabbing," one user wrote.
Meanwhile, Bengaluru has its very own social media trend called "peak Bengaluru moment", where users share bizarre instances that happen daily in the city. Many stories of "peak Bengaluru" moments that take place in India's IT capital can be found all over the internet. The city is also known for its hustle culture, evident from several pictures and videos shared online.
Recently, an automatic pani puri vending machine in Bengaluru also became popular on social media. According to the viral post, the unique machine is located in HSR Layout. Installed by What The Flavours, the stall features a staff member who prepares a standard plate of puri with its ingredients and serves it to the customers. They can then use the pipes attached to the structure to choose between the kind of tamarind water. Notably, the vending machine has sensors and pipes installed so that it can recognise when the snack is held underneath it and dispense the flavour-infused water appropriately.
