Natarajan is an iron merchant based in Bangalore. As a child, it had always been his and his brother's dream to fly in a helicopter. When he found out about the kumbabishekham at the Bhadrakaliamman temple, he decided to go there by helicopter. He contacted a private helicopter company in Bangalore to fulfill their dream of flying in a helicopter to reach the temple.
The villagers who saw the helicopter were left in shock as they flocked the area to take selfies in front of the chopper and welcome Natrajan and his family to the village. Natarajan completed the Swami darshan and returned home in the same helicopter.
