India is a country of diverse religions. People often visit temples and shrines to seek blessings from the divine. Sometimes, people try to do something unique or challenging to please the gods.

In a video shared by a Twitter user Nitin, the man can be seen using his hands and body to get out of the structure, but to no avail. As the video progresses, the priest also helps the man come out of the idol. Many visitors are seen giving tips and suggestions to the devotee. He even tries to move his body and people also extend a helping hand but the man remains stuck.
