Indian woman worships Labubu Doll

A bizarre video circulating online has left social media users in fits of laughter, showing an Indian woman performing rituals for the viral “Labubu Doll” — unaware that it is actually a Chinese toy, not a religious idol.

In the clip, the woman can be seen carrying out Hindu worship rituals and offering prasad to the doll, which sports a distinctive toothy grin. The video quickly went viral on TikTok and X (formerly Twitter), with users mocking the act as an example of extreme superstition.

The caption of the post on X claimed that a young girl had told her mother that the Labubu Doll was a Chinese deity, prompting the mother to begin worshipping it in earnest.
