Truth

The viral video is more then 7 months old, from Hyderabad, not current from Ayodhya

Before the truth, let me confess, I went on the wrong track and spent hours looking for the truth. Later the truth I found was little different.
The clues I found in the viral video were, that it is pre-corona video as no one is wearing a mask, second, the workers were talking in Bengali Language, further I thought of the video to be of some big fat wedding.  So I had been looking for Bengali weddings and wasted hours.

Well, the first clue was right, It is pre corona, but it’s from a temple, that too from Hyderabad. I changed my keywords later and started looking for decoration in temples which led me to the Truth.
