A viral video of a woman destroying an Onam rangoli at a Bengaluru residential complex has ignited widespread criticism on social media, with users calling out her behavior as “cheap mentality.” The video, which surfaced on September 23, 2024, shows the woman kicking and dismantling the intricate floral arrangement, traditionally made during the Onam festival as a symbol of harmony and celebration.
Residents at the society condemned the act, noting that the rangoli was a collaborative effort by the community. The woman’s actions have been met with an outpouring of frustration online, with many arguing that such acts of disrespect go against the spirit of inclusivity and celebration that Onam represents.
The viral video has prompted conversations around cultural respect, with some calling for legal action against the woman. The incident also raises broader questions about social behavior in shared community spaces, where cultural sensitivity is often overlooked.
As the online outrage continues, the woman in question has yet to issue a public response, while local authorities investigate the incident.
