In a quintessential “Peak Bengaluru” spectacle that has taken social media by storm, two men were spotted casually riding a traditional horse-drawn tanga atop the ultra-modern Ragigudda–Silk Board double-decker flyover on Tuesday evening, turning one of the city’s most congested and futuristic stretches into an unlikely stage for old-world charm. The viral video, posted by the popular X handle Karnataka Portfolio, shows the brightly decorated tanga trotting past luxury EVs, superbikes, and harried office-goers stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic, with the horse appearing completely unfazed by the honking chaos below.

The clip has racked up over 2.5 million views within 24 hours, with users flooding the comments with laughing emojis and captions such as “Bengaluru traffic is so bad that even horses have given up on walking” and “Meanwhile Tesla owners are waiting for FSD approval.” Many hailed it as the ultimate juxtaposition of the city’s rapid urbanisation and its lingering rural roots, especially on a flyover inaugurated in 2024 to ease the infamous Silk Board junction bottleneck.

The tanga sighting comes just days after another viral “Peak Bengaluru” moment when commuter Vaibhav Gupta shared a photo of his Rapido rider watching a Node.js tutorial at a traffic signal while ferrying him home late at night. “He’s already a developer preparing for a switch. Crazy grind,” Gupta captioned the post, which has been widely praised as emblematic of the city’s relentless hustle culture.
