Indian woman mistook Labubu doll for a deity and began performing religious rituals
An unusual case of religious misunderstanding occurred in India, where a local resident began worshipping a popular Labubu doll, mistaking it for a deity from the Chinese pantheon, reports NDTV.
In footage that spread across the internet, the woman can be seen performing traditional Hindu rituals with deep reverence before the toy, offering prasad and carrying out other ceremonial actions. As it turned out, the reason for such behavior was information from the woman's daughter, who convinced her mother that Labubu is a Chinese deity worthy of worship.
The video caused a strong reaction on social media. Many users approached the situation with humor, noting the amusing cultural misunderstanding. Others pointed out the serious problem of spreading unreliable information on the internet. In the comments, one can find both humorous remarks and philosophical reflections on how sincere faith can imbue even an ordinary toy with spiritual meaning.
Cultural experts emphasize that such cases clearly demonstrate how, in the era of globalization and social media development, there is a mixing of cultural symbols and images, which sometimes leads to curious and paradoxical situations.
