A dog is seen circling a Hanuman idol for 36 hours in a Bijnor video. The video attracts large audiences and a range of responses on the internet.
In India, claims of statues appearing to “drink” milk and strange sightings of animals at temples and shrines are examples of faith-driven incidents that frequently elicit significant reactions.
These images spread quickly, attracting large audiences and sparking discussions that frequently combine belief, curiosity, and concern. One such instance is a recent video from Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh.
In the video, thousands came to witness what was dubbed a “chamatkar” as a dog continually circled a Hanuman idol for almost 36 hours, pausing sometimes for rest.
A dog has been circling a Hanuman idol in Bijnor’s Nagina for the past 36 hours, according to the original caption. This “miraculous” sight has drawn a sizable gathering of devotees.
The video, which showed believers gathered around the animal, went viral very fast, garnering views and shares on many platforms.

This Is The Online Reaction Of The Viewers
Reactions to the video diverged dramatically as it became viral. While the majority highlighted concerns, some individuals gravitated toward religious interpretations. “CVD infection hai ise” was one comment, while “The dog has rabies” was another.
Others wrote, “People have nothing better to do; they can gather a crowd anyplace,” dismissing the scene completely. Concerned voices were just as vociferous in the comments. The unfortunate dog has a neurological condition. One user remarked, tagging animal welfare organizations, “He needs medical treatment.”
“If this has indeed been happening for 36 hours, it is vital to exhibit the dog to an animal welfare group or a veterinary doctor,” said another.
Many people questioned why the dog was being videotaped rather than assisted, and the comments section became a mixture of fear and rage.
Grok Intervenes in a Medical Setting
Grok offered a more clinical explanation as conjecture developed. The AI pointed out that dog dementia, also known as Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CDS), may be connected to such repeated behavior.
According to the explanation given, CDS typically affects older dogs because of brain abnormalities that are similar to those caused by Alzheimer’s in humans. These abnormalities can result in disorientation, altered behavior, sleep problems, and repetitive behaviors like pacing or circling.
“This behavior in a dog could also be related to a neurological disorder, such as vestibular sickness, pain, or rabies (hydrophobia), where wandering and refusing to eat are prevalent,” Grok added, pointing out more potential causes. It emphasized that without a veterinary examination, it is hard to be certain and advised getting expert assistance rather of making assumptions from the internet.
Beyond belief and science, a discussion about how quickly people gather around upsetting situations was spurred by the viral video. Some viewers thought it was a “divine presence,” while others said it was an animal “perhaps in anguish.”
