An interesting event took place in India. A family held a grand funeral ceremony for their Suzuki Wagon R cars, which they had used on their farm for 12 years. The ceremony was attended by 1,500 people. In the footage from the ceremony, the car's roof was adorned with pink flowers, and yellow and orange ribbons were hanging from the sides. During the emotional moments of the ceremony, the vehicle was gently placed into a 4.5-meter grave dug at the family farm in Amreli. The owner of the vehicle, Sanjay Polara, said, "I bought this car about 12 years ago, and it made significant contributions to my family's well-being. We not only achieved commercial success but also gained respect in the community. The car brought luck to both me and my family. As a sign of my gratitude, I decided to place it in its final resting place on my farm instead of selling it." The ceremony, which cost around 100,000 lira, featured the car decorated with velvet flowers and rose petals, carefully transported from the family home to a specially prepared area. As priests chanted mantras among the large crowd, participants celebrated the car's 'life.' Sanjay sent a four-page invitation to about 2,000 people in his village for the ceremony. The invitation stated, "This car has been like a family member since 2006 and has brought us luck. We gained prosperity and our reputation in the community rose. We want to keep this car alive in our memories forever, which is why we planned a samadhi (burial) ceremony." It was noted that no trees would be planted on the grave. Footage of the ceremony sparked interesting comments on social media. One user commented, "Archaeological researchers will find this Wagon R in 3024," while another user said, "Future people will be surprised to see this."
