Viral in Mumbai! A man performs ‘Aura Farming’ dance before diving into a flooded street during heavy rains. The bizarre act, caught on camera, grabs millions of views online
As Mumbai battles relentless rainfall, flooding, and traffic chaos, a viral video has brought both laughter and introspection. The clip, widely shared on social media, shows a man drenched head-to-toe, joyfully dancing in the middle of a flooded street before diving dramatically into rainwater flowing like a stream.
The video, believed to have been recorded in Mumbra, carries the caption, “Entertainment never stops in Mumbai. The show must go on!” It quickly struck a chord with thousands online, symbolising how the city finds moments of joy even in adversity.
For some, the clip evoked nostalgia. One user recalled witnessing similar moments during the monsoons of the early 2000s in Rajkot, when residents waded through overflowing streets as if it were a festival. Another summed it up: “Indians can find entertainment anywhere.”
While the viral video spread cheer, the reality on the ground remains grim. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a red alert for Mumbai, Thane, Palghar, and Ratnagiri, warning of heavy to very heavy rainfall in the coming days.
-Schools, colleges, and government offices have been shut temporarily, with many organisations switching to work-from-home mode.
-Emergency crews continue to clear clogged drains and pump out waterlogged roads, though mobility across the city remains heavily disrupted.
-Low-lying areas in suburbs and satellite towns have reported flash floods, with buses, local trains, and private vehicles stranded.
Mumbai’s monsoon is infamous for bringing the city to a halt, but this year, amidst the chaos of waterlogging, traffic jams, and stranded commuters, one bizarre incident has captured the internet’s attention. A video of a man performing what he called an “Aura Farming” dance before diving into a flooded street has gone viral, sparking a mix of laughter, disbelief, and concern across social media platforms.
The video, reportedly filmed in central Mumbai, shows a middle-aged man standing on the edge of a heavily waterlogged road. Instead of simply crossing or wading through the knee-deep water, he breaks into a strange set of hand movements and rhythmic steps, which he claims is a form of “Aura Farming”. Witnesses say the man described it as a way of “charging energy” before diving into the murky water.
Moments later, to everyone’s shock, he leaps dramatically into the flooded street, creating a huge splash as stunned onlookers gasp. The clip was quickly uploaded by passersby, and within hours, it went viral across WhatsApp groups, Instagram reels, and Twitter/X timelines.
Netizens wasted no time turning the bizarre stunt into meme material. Many users compared the man’s moves to Bollywood dance sequences, while others jokingly called him “Mumbai’s Aquaman”. One Twitter user quipped, “Forget Yoga Day, India should now celebrate Aura Farming Day!”
The video has already garnered millions of views and thousands of shares. Hashtags like #AuraFarming, #MumbaiRains, and #FloodDance have been trending, with influencers and comedians recreating the dance moves in their own videos.
However, not all reactions were humorous. Several users expressed concern over the risks of diving into floodwater, which often contains sewage, sharp objects, and open manholes. Some urged authorities to discourage such stunts, highlighting the dangers of turning flood chaos into entertainment.
The incident occurred against the backdrop of Mumbai’s relentless downpour, which has once again exposed the city’s drainage and infrastructure challenges. Heavy rainfall has led to severe waterlogging in low-lying areas, suspension of train services, and massive traffic disruptions.
For residents, this has become an annual ordeal, but moments like the “Aura Farming” dance add a strange element of humor to an otherwise difficult situation.
While many dismissed the act as mere comic relief, wellness experts were quick to clarify that “Aura Farming” has no scientific basis. Psychologists suggested that in stressful situations, people often resort to unusual behavior as a coping mechanism. On the other hand, fitness enthusiasts online joked that the man may have “invented a new monsoon workout.”
Despite criticism, some social media users argued that the incident reflects the resilient and humorous spirit of Mumbai. The city has long been known for turning adversity into creativity, whether through viral videos, memes, or lighthearted banter.
For now, the “Aura Farming” diver remains unidentified, but his antics have made him an overnight sensation. In a city battling yet another monsoon crisis, this unexpected performance has, at the very least, provided comic relief to millions watching online.
