In a scene reminiscent of a bygone era, a voter in a rural town of northern India’s Uttar Pradesh, made headlines when he arrived on horseback to cast his vote.

The incident took place in Kushinagar on June 1.

Visuals showed how the man came riding on the horse to the polling booth.

The unique incident occurred during the local elections, highlighting the diverse and often colorful ways in which citizens participate in the democratic process across India.

The voter, whose identity was not disclosed, chose to ride a horse due to the lack of modern transportation options in the area. Local officials and fellow voters were surprised and amused by the sight, which quickly became a talking point at the polling booth.
