The video, circulating widely on social media, captures RCB fans atop the grand chariot at the historic Madduramma Devi fair in Huskur, just 15 kilometers from Bengaluru.

The Madduramma Devi fair features a massive chariot towering over 100 feet, equivalent to a 20 to 25-story building. RCB supporters seized this opportunity to express their devotion, standing atop the structure and passionately cheering for their team. The sight of fans displaying their fervour at such heights has left social media users in awe.

Despite not securing the IPL trophy in 17 seasons, RCB fans continue to believe, and their bold display at the Huskur fair is a testament to their undying support.
