On the first day of Asia’s greatest air show, which began on Monday, the image of Lord Hanuman with the phrase “The storm is coming” was visible. The image of Lord Hanuman was noticeably absent from the airplane, however, the tagline was still present.
According to a HAL representative who spoke to the news agency PTI, the tagline was taken from India’s first indigenous aircraft, the HF-24 Marut (which means wind), and there was nothing specifically to be taken from the image of Lord Hanuman.
