The biker from Maharashtra learned this the hard way after he was detained by the authorities for hurting religious sentiments.
According to The Bhutanese, a leading local daily the biker was seen climbing on a Chorten, a sacred stupa in Buddhism, which symbolizes the presence of Buddha.
The biker reportedly approached a Bhutanese national who was doing repair works there and used his ladder to climb the Chorten.
The editor of local newspaper The Bhutanese added that there is much outrage in the country over the insensitive and disrespectful actions for standing on a sacred Buddhist Stupa.
