The next day the bike mysteriously found its way back to the accident scene. To ensure that it never happens again, the police took the bike, emptied its gas tank and chained it up but somehow the bike continued to find its way back to the accident scene.

The bike had to be set there permanently because no matter what method they used to remove it from the spot it still found its way back.

This led to the rise of the Bullet Baba temple because the motorcycle in question was a Royal Enfield Bullet.

A concrete dias was put in place and a glass enclosure for the motorcycle. Each day hundreds of passersby pay homage to the motorcycle god who is believed to offer distressed travelers protection.

Some say they are seven to nine flames which resemble the seven divine sisters or the nine Durgas.

The birth of Sati came when the gods destroyed the demons which had wreaked havoc in the Himalaya Mountains. Sati grew up under the custodian of Prajapati Daksha and later became the wife of Lord Shiva. One is left to wonder how deep Sati’s love ran for her husband as she killed herself after her father insulted Lord Shiva. A lot of furies accompanied Lord Shiva’s reaction to the death of his wife. Lord Shiva stalked the three worlds while holding Sati’s body.

The other gods trembled at his wrath and appealed to Lord Vishnu for help who then released a volley of arrows which struck Sati’s body and left it in pieces. These very pieces include the tongue which so has fallen at the spot where the unquenchable flame rages.
