The viral video shows several people performing the 'Havan ceremony.' Meanwhile, a truck appears outside the house of the firefighters who barged in on the pooja, assuming that it was a fire emergency. The text on the video reads, "Cultural misunderstanding 101: A Hindu puja is not a fire emergency. When you're having a housewarming party and the fire department pulls up"

Later in the video, the fire fighters officials can be seen having a word with the Indian family. There are no reports as of now if any action was taken or if the family violated local fire safety regulations.

The video was posted on X by @BengaliFalcon71. The caption of the video reads, "A group of Indians were worshipping the Hindu fire god in Texas, and the neighbors called the fire fighters on them.

One user wrote, "Respect country u live in in , if u want to do all these go to country where its normal."
