Female devotee in Gujarat temple gets stuck under elephant statue

Guwahati: In a rather humorous incident of the extreme level of devotion showcased by a female devotee in a Gujarat temple, a video footage has gone viral. The video footage shows the female devotee trying to crawl through an elephant statue but she got stuck. The devotee could only pass her head and arms through the statue and the rest of her body, obviously for its voluminous size, got stuck.

What is more humorous about the video is that she was seen smiling and posing for the camera after posing her head through the statue, but all her smiles disappeared the next moment when she realized that she has got stuck under the statue.

She could be seen trying to wriggle her way out of the statue with the help of other female devotees. Some of the devotees pulled her by holding her hands and arms, while others took to push her. The video footage proves the presence of male too in the spot as their voices could be heard in the background. However, the male devotees did not come for her rescue and after a continuous process of efforts by the woman and other devotees, she finally slipped through the statue.

Some other devotees could also be heard advising her so that she can find w way to get out of the statue. It is only after changing her angles and relaxing her body parts that she could slip through it as her body size would not allow her to pass through so easily through such a small gap.
