Claiming to have been contacted by extraterrestrials, an Indian man has built a temple for what he believes to be an alien God. The strange place of worship, which features a sizeable statue of an otherworldly visitor, is the handiwork of Siddhar Bhakiya, who told a local media outlet that he came up with the idea following a pair of incidents wherein he allegedly communicated with ETs via "clairvoyance."

During these encounters, he said, it was revealed that these beings were "the first deity created by Lord Shiva in the world and aliens are the only god who can save the world from disaster as they have unlimited power." With that in mind, he decided to construct the temple in their honor after purportedly receiving permission from the otherworldly visitors. "Aliens will not harm the world. They will not do any harm to people," he insisted, further explaining his reasoning for the unique place of worship, "they seek us only to do good."

By building the unique temple, Bhakiya presumably hopes to gain favor with the perceived deities before they reveal themselves to the world. To that end, he asserted that alien visitations will soon increase in frequency and culminate in an 'arrival' moment in which the ETs "come in person and communicate with us." "Don't let anyone think I'm crazy because I'm talking to an alien," he declared, noting that there are many individuals as well as world governments investigating the possibility of otherworldly visitors.
