Offer a Toy Plane at Aeroplane Gurudwara of Jalandhar & Get US Visa!

“It happens only in India” this famous saying contributes to the weirdest and strange things that take place all over the country. India is famous for the oddest, bizarre, amazing, and unusual stories that are cherished by people all around the world. One such unbelievable incident has taken place in a Jalandhar, Punjab in the holy shrine of Sant Baba Nihal Singh Shaheedan, where devotees are offering toy planes that could turn into a ticket for them to fly abroad.

“Hawai Jahaz Gurdwara” or the “Aeroplane Gurdwara” of Jalandhar

Punjab is obsessed with the thought of settling in abroad. Main reasons for this include lack of jobs in the hometown or country, million dollar dreams, and the desire to emulate neighbors and relatives. According to a survey, about 6 million people have settled abroad from the Doaba district that includes Nawanshahr, Kapurthala, Jalandhar and Hoshiarpur. With this obsession also comes the dark side – where people cannot migrate due to an absence of certain skills or documentation and in such cases the last resort that’s available is faith in a superior power – God.

All this started a few months back where the word spread about the Gurudwara in Doaba region, where people are crazy about settling abroad and have unshakeable faith in Gurudwara. It has a popular feeling that if anybody offers a toy plane and has a strong wish to fly and settle abroad his or her wishes will be fulfilled. As a result of this wish, a lot of people have visited and offered toy planes with their names inscribed on the toy. These toy planes can be purchased from shops outside the Gurudwara and offer it to the holy Sri Guru Granth Sahib. On a Sunday, worshipers offer about 40-50 planes, mostly a top plane of the country they plan on settling.
