Bengaluru Halloween Costumes of Ejipura Flyover and Sony Signal Go Viral

A viral X photo tapped into Bengaluru commuters' exasperation with chronic gridlock.

Overview

  • Bengaluru residents Paarug Sethi and his friend Shivani dressed as the long-stalled Ejipura flyover and the Sony traffic signal for a Halloween party.
  • Sethi wore a headpiece featuring an image of the unfinished flyover, while Shivani carried a board marked “Sony” with red, yellow and green lights.
  • Sethi’s photo on X drew widespread attention, with users calling the costumes “True horror” and “Absolute class” as jokes and praise poured in.
  • The Ejipura flyover has been delayed for years and is a frequent target of local satire, while Sony Signal in Koramangala is notorious for routine jams and was once dubbed “hell on earth” on Reddit.
  • National outlets including Hindustan Times and India Today amplified the viral moment, with coverage focused on the humor rather than any new infrastructure updates.
