An image of a train with photo of Hindu God Lord Krishna is being widely shared on social media with a claim that ISKCON in Russia has put out this photo to educate people about Hinduism.
The text embedded on the image reads, “ये रुस की एक ट्रेन है जहां पर इस्कान मंदिर वालों ने श्री कृष्ण जी का चित्रण इंजन में करवाया है।ताकि दुनिया भर के लोग कृष्ण जी के बारे में जान सकें। अब जरा सोचिए यह इंजन अगर भारत में होता तो संसद से लेकर पूरे देश में बवाल होता कड़वा है पर सच है कि हम स्वयं ही हमारे पतन का कारण है”
(English translation: This is a train in Russia where the people of ISKCON temple have got the depiction of Shri Krishna ji on the engine. So that people all over the world can know about Krishna ji. Now just imagine if this engine had been in India, then there would have been a ruckus in the whole country from Parliament, but the truth is that we ourselves are the reason for our downfall.”
Here’s the link to the above post.
FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above claim and found it to be FALSE.
Doing a Reverse Image Search directed us to a website called “Southern States Group” that featured the same image but without the poster of Lord Krishna on the train engine. Southern States Group is an Australian based company that provides services to “transport refrigeration, air refrigeration, rail air conditioning, roller door and tail lift industries.”
Below is the comparison between the viral image and the original image. One can clearly notice the similarities between the two images and how the poster of Lord Krishna has been digitally added to the original image.
Thus, it is evident from the above information that a morphed image is being falsely shared as that of ISKCON printing photo of Lord Krishna on the train engine in Russia to spread awareness about Hinduism.
