According to the videos caption, the womans daughter told her that Labubu was a Chinese god. Believing this, the mother wasted no time and added the doll into her prayers. The caption humorously read: "A girl told her mother that Labubu is a Chinese god. Just hearing this, she started worshipping Labubu. Jai Labubu."
According to Weirdkaya, for those unfamiliar, Labubu is a character from The Monsters series created by Hong Kong-born illustrator Kasing Lung. The character is instantly recognizable with its large round eyes, pointed ears, and mischievous snaggle-toothed smile. Labubu was inspired by Nordic folklore but has since evolved into a beloved collectible across Asia.
Labubu first appeared in blind box figurines released by POP MART. These mystery boxes allowed fans to collect different designs of the character without knowing which one they would get. Over the years, Labubu's popularity soared, leading to countless versions, from miniature keychains to life-sized figures. Today, it is a cult favorite among collectors worldwide.
The video resonated because it highlights how cultural misunderstandings can intersect with pop culture. Many viewers found the scene both amusing and endearing. Some laughed at the mix-up, while others expressed admiration for the woman's sincerity in her devotion, even if directed at a toy. The clip has since been reshared thousands of times across various platforms.
The incident of the Indian woman worshipping a Labubu doll serves as both a humorous and touching reminder of how cultures collide in unexpected ways. What began as a simple misunderstanding has turned into a viral phenomenon that highlights human sincerity, curiosity, and the universal nature of pop culture.
Labubu may not be a deity, but in this case, it became a symbol of innocence, faith, and the funny side of cultural interpretation.
