On 25 September 2025, Prime Minister Modi inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for development projects worth over ₹1,22,100 crore in Banswara, Rajasthan, and addressed a public meeting. Amid this, a video showing a massive crowd is being widely shared on social media, with claims that it depicts recent visuals of Prime Minister Modi’s public meeting in Banswara, Rajasthan (here, here, here, and here). In this article, we fact-check the claim.
Claim: The video shows a massive crowd at Prime Minister Modi’s public meeting held on 25 September 2025 in Banswara, Rajasthan.
Fact: This viral video is not related to Prime Minister Modi’s public meeting held on 25 September 2025 in Banswara, Rajasthan, or to any of his events. It actually shows visuals from a bullock cart race organised at the Hindkesari Ground in Pedgaon, Satara, Maharashtra. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.
To verify the details of the viral video, we conducted a reverse image search on Google using keyframes from the clip. This search led us to a similar video uploaded on YouTube on 23 June 2025. The video was shared with the caption #Pedgaon #bullockcart #race #Field #pedgav #bailgada #shariyat #Maharashtra #bakasur #trending #gadamalak. The caption suggests that the video is from a bullock cart race held in Maharashtra. From this, we can confirm that the viral video is not linked to Prime Minister Modi’s public meeting held on 25 September 2025 in Banswara.
Further searches led us to another video with similar visuals shared on Instagram on 23 June 2025. The caption of this video also claimed that the visuals were related to a bullock cart race held in Maharashtra. We then conducted a relevant keyword search and found multiple videos (here, here, here) on Instagram showing visuals identical to those in the viral video. According to these, the viral video is related to a bullock cart race organised at the Hindkesari Ground in Pedgaon, Satara, Maharashtra. We also found multiple other videos of the event on YouTube (here, here, and here).
On closer observation of the viral video, we can also see some members of the crowd wearing T-shirts with bull images.
We then geolocated the Hindkesari Ground in Pedgaon, Satara, Maharashtra, and found a photo uploaded in June 2025 to Google Street View imagery of Hindkesari Maidan that matches the visuals seen in the viral video.
Earlier, Factly published a fact-check article debunking the same video when it was falsely shared as visuals from Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ rally in Bihar in August 2025.
To sum it up, this viral video is not related to Prime Minister Modi’s public meeting held on 25 September 2025 in Banswara, Rajasthan. It shows a bullock cart race held in Satara, Maharashtra.
