What's unusual: The shrine here is a Bullet 350 motorcycle!
One of the most unusual shrines in India is located in Chotila village about 50 km of Jodhpur. Famously known as Om Banna or Bullet Baba, the shrine is believed to be a blessing for everyone who prays for a safe journey. Devotees offer liquor as offering. The story behind the shrine is also pretty interesting. Shri Om Singh Rathore was the son of a village leader. In 1991, he was killed when he drove into a tree with his bike. The motorcycle was seized by local police and taken to the police station, but was found the next morning at the accident spot. The bike was taken back again and this time secured with chains, but it returned to the same spot next morning again. The tree also is adorned with offerings of bangles, scarves and rope.

4: Interesting article. Just wanted to add a temple that is overlooked most of the times. Its a very rare temple due to the unique placements of the shrines. Its the Kasivisvesvaran temple located in the Lakkundi village, Karnataka. The uniqueness of the temple is that the shrines of God Shiva and Sun God are facing each other. In addition to that, the Sun God is facing west instead of facing east. This is the only temple where the Sun god faces the west.

In aforesaid article/news it is written that KAL BHAIRAV Temple is located in Ujjain (Uttar-Pradesh). Request you to please correct it as the temple is situated in holy city VARANASI (Uttar-Pradesh). Hope you will rectify this.
