This happened 8 years ago, it's pretty cool i went there recently and they have his skeleton covered in orange powder and draped with garlands of flowers.
I assume he went in head first. This proved his torso can fit. Unclear if his hips (one large, inflexible bone) can fit, so it may be unwise to continue forward.
In that case, a person in this position should try to tuck one arm back through at a time and angle/wiggle back out the way they came.
This is from a temple in Gujarat, India. This devout individual wanted to see if he can pass under this elephant, generally they believe that if one can pass through under it, they're "pure from all sin" Or something such. Here's a news piece on this incident, I don't think the people there stayed long enough to care if he got out: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ndtv.com/offbeat/viral-video-devotee-gets-stuck-under-elephant-statue-at-gujarat-temple-3579871/amp/1
Correction: this is from the state of Madhya Pradesh, at Amarkantak, the temple where Narmada River originates. The thing about passing under this elephant to test if you're virtuous or sinful is true, but is largely said and tested on KIDS. On the other hand, Amarkantak is one of the most beautiful places to visit in Central India.
It's sad that elephants are so small these days due to a lack of food for them in the wild. 100 years ago the wild Indian Stone Elephant was much larger and you could walk under their legs without even needing to crawl.
For context: this is a ritual at a temple where people crawl under the statue. This person is not the first to get stuck. They’re pinching his shirt trying to tell him to swivel his body in that direction. They aren’t pulling him out because as per ritual you’d ideally do it yourself.
If he does get well and truly stuck they’d pull him out. Also, damaging the statue isn’t really an option and they’d be able to get him out the way he got till there
Just have some people hold onto his arms firmly and then have some other people yank his legs backwards. The people holding his arms should be able to stretch his arms out so his shoulders rotate enough to fit back through the hole again.
One of the other top posts I just saw was a woman squeezing through a basketball hoop. I'm having a major Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon morning. (When you learn something and then start seeing it everywhere.) I'm baffled.
Paramedics eventually arrived on scene to help out. They gave him water and such because he ended up being stuck there for a bit. After lots of discussion it was decided that they couldn’t destroy the ancient idle, so they ended up amputating the man from the ribs down to save him. He ended up recovering in a hospital and now makes regular visits in his wheelchair back to the statue to tell people about the dangers of being stupid
I wouldn't say I'm claustrophobic, the cave videos don't bother me that much. But this made me unreasonably anxious. Something about just the hips being caught.
Guy on the left was so much help. Keep tugging on that shirt, you almost had it that time. And the guy stuck should probably look down more. That technique seems to be working insanely well
You can make your shoulders diagonal if you go through one arm at a time, but there’s nothing you can do about that big juicy asssssss.
Source: guy who just had to do big construction in his crawl space
Just strip the guy naked and cover him in ghee then tie some thick rope round his legs, the other end onto a tuk tuk and gun it to 88 miles per hour. Could work?
But like... Why don't they just pull him out from behind? That how he got in. He just needs to put his arms like a diver and let them pull him back out.
As an adult I got stuck in a kids bus/car thing. I completely freaked out. My dad had to cut me out with a sawz all and I had to buy the neighbors kids a new bus/car. Yes, alcohol was involved.
What an interesting dilemma. Like in the US they’ll jaws of life- the fuck out of anything to save/rescue a person. But somewhere where religion comes first and this happens… what then
I hope i don't come off like a racist. But why is this useless helping so common in what looks like India? There was another pair where they were opening smuggled drugs and there were like 10 hands on one small photo book. Here you go the same. A big crowd but no one is actually doing anything that can possibly help him get out lol or is this a skit?
I've been ineffectual shirt pulling guy before! You want to do something, but don't know what to do, so you stand there doing something you know isn't helping, but is kind of in the right direction? It's never a good idea.
Oh man, this is nothing compared to those crazy people who do this in caves. Crawl through tiny little spaces where they can get stuck, and lots have. Being stuck way underground like this would be horrifying!
This gave me the absolute WORST claustrophobia chills. I had to throw my blankets off and flail around just to prove to my brain I’m not trapped and can move
From [NDTV.com](https://NDTV.com) "It seems he was performing a ritual when he got stuck into the statue and tried very hard to get out of it...it is not clear from the video whether the man managed to come out of the statue." **and** "One such similar incident occurred in 2019 when a female devotee also got stuck as she had crawled between the legs of the small elephant statue, as a part of the ritual. She also tried to wriggle her way out of the statue and many people came to rescue her too. According to the old video, she managed to escape uninjured after a brief battle, much to the relief of her fellow devotees who applauded and cheered for her efforts."
Clearly they need to rope this little guy off or, at least, stuff the gap between his belly and the ground! :D
good news is we got a power saw bad bews is the statue cant be damaged
You know they will cut him in half before cutting that idol.
He'll be at piece
The guy tugging a pinch of shirt here and there really saved the day.
Old man be like ”Hmmm i Like that thread count, if you are going to die here I should just take that now. It is very nice”
That dude pinching and pulling dudes shirt is doing fuck all.
He’s like, “Ok enough playing around. Come on out.”
I noticed that and my friends dad does that all the time. He will just keep saying “come on” or “cut it out” and do nothing to help.
'tis easier for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God than it is for this guy to pass betweeen the knees of an idol.
Hips don’t lie
But HE will lie there for a while
Here, allow me to lightly pick at this crease in your shirt while you are consumed by panic.
[удалено]
That is so wonderfully colorful, like a play. Every archetype of humanity represented.
lmao what the fuck everything about this is so ridiculous and fucked up
Gentle little tugs at the shirt are very helpful.
I couldn’t help but laugh at that, it’s like he can’t decide whether to help or silently laugh at the dudes stupidity.
The Priest - "Nice shirt,nice material." 😁
This happened 8 years ago, it's pretty cool i went there recently and they have his skeleton covered in orange powder and draped with garlands of flowers.
I thought it was a bit tacky myself. They shouldn't have painted his skeleton green.
These video is giving me anxiety, damn...

Fat people are damn sinful then lol
I'd imagine gluttony is a universal sin, regardless of culture.
Gluttony is considered a sin in Christianity , too, my friend .
Help me, stepmonk, I'm stuck
Curse these child bearing hips
It's sad that elephants are so small these days due to a lack of food for them in the wild. 100 years ago the wild Indian Stone Elephant was much larger and you could walk under their legs without even needing to crawl.
"Pinch my shirt a bunch of times! That will help."
For context: this is a ritual at a temple where people crawl under the statue. This person is not the first to get stuck. They’re pinching his shirt trying to tell him to swivel his body in that direction. They aren’t pulling him out because as per ritual you’d ideally do it yourself. If he does get well and truly stuck they’d pull him out. Also, damaging the statue isn’t really an option and they’d be able to get him out the way he got till there
To the people asking if he's still stuck Of course not, you can clearly see a man in orange lightly tugging on his shirt. He'll be out in no time.
Fuck that getting stuck is my biggest fear. I’m sitting here damn near ready to lose it just watching.
After couple of weeks he’s skinny enough to slide out.
Exactly, let him *fast until he's worthy of passing through this deity's crotch.
Everyone is being so helpful. Here let me gently tug on your shirt
At least he’s not head first down the bottom of a one way cave system with no way out
I love the guy that just keeps checkin his shirt material lol. I know he’s stuck but damn that’s a nice shirt
Someone call this dude's step brother STAT!
Time to takeoff the shirt and get the oil
He needs to get out the same way he got in.....
Step Buddha help i’m stuck
Oh man. And you know they ain't breaking that shit.
If this happened during Pompeii times it would be baffling to archeologists.
His pullout game is weak
Its all fun and games till the panic sets in
That monk is thinking if that shirt will fit him, once they dispose of the body.
Just have some people hold onto his arms firmly and then have some other people yank his legs backwards. The people holding his arms should be able to stretch his arms out so his shoulders rotate enough to fit back through the hole again.
Let me pinch your shirt that should get you out
Leave him there til hes slim enough to slide right out
One of the other top posts I just saw was a woman squeezing through a basketball hoop. I'm having a major Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon morning. (When you learn something and then start seeing it everywhere.) I'm baffled.
It always amazes me how easy it is to get into a place but it's so hard to get out.
That just gave me a panic attack
Wha.. what are you doing stepmonk
Paramedics eventually arrived on scene to help out. They gave him water and such because he ended up being stuck there for a bit. After lots of discussion it was decided that they couldn’t destroy the ancient idle, so they ended up amputating the man from the ribs down to save him. He ended up recovering in a hospital and now makes regular visits in his wheelchair back to the statue to tell people about the dangers of being stupid
They'll have to cut him in half. They're not going to hurt the idol.
“Help me step-Ganesh, I’m stuck.”
I just worked at a Hindu temple. Not a fucking chance they break that elephant to save him.
I wouldn't say I'm claustrophobic, the cave videos don't bother me that much. But this made me unreasonably anxious. Something about just the hips being caught.
He must've seen that video of the woman and the basketball hoop.
This is how scuba divers and spelunkers die in caves.
he has child birthing hips.
*Freeze frame* Yep that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got here
are you stuck? *unzip pants noise
Thats why i would never ever go cave exploring
a religious idol might be the worst place to get stuck bcz people most probably won't let anyone cut it
Massive anxiety watching this for some reason
Now imagine this is a cave 1000 ft under ground in the pitch black
The holy dude got on my nerves, tugging on the new part of the stone idol's shirt.
"Step-monk, help! I'm stuck."
Thank goodness that man is there pulling on his shirt ever so slightly. He'd be in real trouble if not for that dude.
No need to panic, he would get thinner from lack of food.
The one guy checking the quality of his shirt to see if he wants it when he gives up trying to escape
Lol that super unmotivated priest trying to help.
Seems like his ass is much bigger than his head.
That old guy just lightly tugging on his shirt lol.
Guy on the left was so much help. Keep tugging on that shirt, you almost had it that time. And the guy stuck should probably look down more. That technique seems to be working insanely well
Yes, pinch and slightly tug at the back of his shirt. This will most Definitely help set him free>! Smdh
Good thing his stepdad wasn't behind him or around at the time
“Here let me gently tug on your shirt that should do it”
If you're stuck at your pelvis, give up, that's a bone you're not squeezing through without lifelong consequences.
I mean we have to cut you in half… what do you want us to do. Kill God?
He must be related to that woman who climbed through the basketball hoop
He is now one with Ganesh
The old guy tugging in his shirt be like “I got ya bruh” 🤣
Hey stepbro help me, I'm stuck under a hindu idol
wtf does he keep pinching his shirt for lol
Help step bro
"khata bahut hai na" - "He eats too much" "Vajan kam kariye" - "Needs to lose weight" His name is Pawan which means Wind... so that's a bit ironic.
what are you doing step bro
Jesus Christ just grab us fucking legs and pull in the direction of the hole not sideways what the fuck
As a Hindu ,he had absolutely no need to do that, never saw anyone do that even the god must like wtf bro
I think a step bro is needed here.
Is the idol Ganesha the Hindu God, remover of obstacles? If so another level of comedy
Easy rule: get out the same way you got in
How thicc does he have to be in order to be able to fit his shoulders through but not his waist
You can make your shoulders diagonal if you go through one arm at a time, but there’s nothing you can do about that big juicy asssssss. Source: guy who just had to do big construction in his crawl space
This guy must have a big booty
Take the shirt off and grease him up!
What’s more valuable: Idol or peasant no. 134,544,677,456
I don't speak the language but it sounds like a lot of differing opinions
I love the monk who's just pulling his shirt a little.
He'll die and rot away eventually. Then just remove bones.
Just strip the guy naked and cover him in ghee then tie some thick rope round his legs, the other end onto a tuk tuk and gun it to 88 miles per hour. Could work?
Feeling that claustrophobic fear settle in watching him squirm
I've read this! It's just like when Pooh gets stuck in Rabbit's door and they just leave him there until he gets thin enough to get out.
If you can get your shoulders through how can you not get your legs through?
I like the guy checking the shirt "hmm yes, nice fabric. this will look good on me, yes"
Is nobody going to mention the elephant in the room?
Doesn't seem they were worried about the man. They worried more about the statue
But like... Why don't they just pull him out from behind? That how he got in. He just needs to put his arms like a diver and let them pull him back out.
As an adult I got stuck in a kids bus/car thing. I completely freaked out. My dad had to cut me out with a sawz all and I had to buy the neighbors kids a new bus/car. Yes, alcohol was involved.
It's a good thing that guy is helping by moving his shirt.
It is sacred. So we will not break it. You will fast until we can slide you through. Patience.
The geeza pulling his shirt to try to help him through. Almost had him mate! Keep it up!
makes me think of the people that get stuck crawling through super tight narrow caves. fuck that.
When you need Ganesha to remove obstacles, but Ganesha is the obstacle
Shoulders are typically the widest part. No idea why his hips are struggling. Source: caves
Those light shirt tugs are doing the trick!
Oh it's an adult
bet they're not willing to break the statue to free him either due to it's religious significance. Bad luck mate 😂
The guy slightly grabbing his shirt is infuriating
Clutchy shirt guy sizing up his new clothes
What an interesting dilemma. Like in the US they’ll jaws of life- the fuck out of anything to save/rescue a person. But somewhere where religion comes first and this happens… what then
How did he fit his shoulders through but his hips got stuck??
Cut the fool in half. It is the only way.
It was his child bearing hips what got him stuck.
The idol didn’t like his gesture and imprisoned him for life
Welp, he’s part of the statue now
Lather the brother up in some Ghee. That'll get him out.
3 weeks on a soup only diet and he'll pop out 🤣
“Sorry, son. There’s no escape. You will now be this elephant idol’s bee-atch for all eternity.”
And what was the poojari doing? Checking his shirt cloth material?
I hope i don't come off like a racist. But why is this useless helping so common in what looks like India? There was another pair where they were opening smuggled drugs and there were like 10 hands on one small photo book. Here you go the same. A big crowd but no one is actually doing anything that can possibly help him get out lol or is this a skit?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING, STEP-GANESH!? And the picking at his shirt. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Strip him naked and pour oil on him...
They can't break their god to free the man.
How the fuck is hip wider than his shoulders? Or was he attempting to climb through backwards?
[Dang he died there.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)
Watcha doing step Bro.
These step brother videos are getting quite cultural.
You know what… my anxiety does not need this shit.
If porn had taught me anything, it’s that he can only be helped free after he has been fucked.
Here let me tug on your shirt to help
When the gods tell you it's time to lose weight.
I love how he looks pissed as if someone did this to him
This gives me deep anxiety
the old bald guy was just inspecting that shirt quality, it intrigued him
You know what always helps resolve a problem? 20 people all telling you different things at once.
No one any help, literally other guy just frivolously trying grab him by shirt like that’ll nudge him loose.
That one last turd trying to come out:
Yes, tickle him and play with his shirt. That should do the trick.
I've been ineffectual shirt pulling guy before! You want to do something, but don't know what to do, so you stand there doing something you know isn't helping, but is kind of in the right direction? It's never a good idea.
Get him naked and oil him up, then push.
I think I’ve seen a porn that started this way. About to get really rough for Mr. Punjabi businessman.
Sir you are part of this elephant now
What are you doing step statue...
Well, leave him there over night. His asshole will be wide open.
This is giving me a panic attack
What are you doing step-Brahmin?!
The idol has chosen a sacrifice. You are now condemned in that position for eternity.
Pretty sure pulling his shirt a bit will make all the difference.
That old guy pulling on his shirt was really helping out a lot
*”It was made for me! THIS IS MY HOLE!”*
Is this a tradition or just an idiot?
I've seen porns that start this way 🤣
These type of videos lately, give me anxiety. Idk why but I start to feel claustrophobic. And I get anxious waiting for them to get free.
Bust out the ghee and free this man.
The priest "helping pull" is gold.
I watch enough SAW movies to know where does this goes…
Step-monk I'm stuck 😏
Take off his clothes, put oil on him, dislocate his shoulders then leave he there to dry for 3 day should do the trick.
Oh man, this is nothing compared to those crazy people who do this in caves. Crawl through tiny little spaces where they can get stuck, and lots have. Being stuck way underground like this would be horrifying!
He’s an offering
I don't understand, if our shoulders can pass through then the rest of us are able too. how did he get stuck? did he go in backwards?
Fake news. He was put their hundreds of years ago.
Literal nightmare visualized. Those dreams are the worst.
What are you doing, step-idol?
My body is starting to twitch and I'm suffocating as I watch this
time to take off the pants and bring on the lube !
They should let him be there, after sometime he'll get thinner and can get out on his own..
A wild gay step-bro appears...
Everyone, pinch his shirt! It will definitely help.
Take his clothes off and get some baby oil.
In the meantime, the guy on the left is like “what’s this fabric? Is it stretchy? Does it breathe well?”
I really thought the finger tugs on his shirt would do it…
Looks like they're going to have to cut it at the middle and reattach after. The guy that is, not the idol.
He known damn well his hips shaped like Mr. Krabs
That didn't go as well as the neighbor lady crawling through the basketball hoop.
This gave me the absolute WORST claustrophobia chills. I had to throw my blankets off and flail around just to prove to my brain I’m not trapped and can move
Idol: “Sacrifice accepted.”
From [NDTV.com](https://NDTV.com) "It seems he was performing a ritual when he got stuck into the statue and tried very hard to get out of it...it is not clear from the video whether the man managed to come out of the statue." **and** "One such similar incident occurred in 2019 when a female devotee also got stuck as she had crawled between the legs of the small elephant statue, as a part of the ritual.

Clearly they need to rope this little guy off or, at least, stuff the gap between his belly and the ground! :D
There not going to damage the statue, They will cut him in half when the lights go out 😆
Keep tugging on his shirt and telling him to get out, that should help
Hopefully one of the gods will help him
Remove his shirt, grease him, and shove him back out the way he came in. Simple!
The guy tugging his shirt. 🤣
Is India like the Florida of Asia?
What was he trying to do
They'll chop him up before dismantling that statue
