The incident is said to be associated with the Hindu Yuva Ekta Manch which organised a grand event on Tuesday.
During an event on Vijayadashami (October 24), a large number of youth gathered at the Kalakendra Maidan in the area and raised slogans on Lord Hanuman. A procession was carried out to the nearby Mahamaya temple as part of the celebrations on the auspicious day.
One of the key attractions of the religious procession was the drone that flew up in the air. Along with other festivities, the Hanuman ji styled drone was released into the sky.
Not the first time
One must note that this isn't the first time such an incident has taken place during the observance of a religious festival. There are similar instances recorded in the past from other parts of the country. People were seen worshipping Lord Hanuman by launching a drone in 2015.
Lucknow witnessed the Hindu God (drone) flying in its sky to give locals darshan from several feet above the ground. Similar visuals were also recorded from Ludhiana.
