Congress leader Shashi Tharoor became bud of joke on Twitter when he posted the image of Gautam Buddha for wishing Mahavir Jayanti. Twitteratti took this faux pas of Tharoor as chance to make fun of him. Many countered Tharoor in a funny way in which they posted the images of different festivals and wrote on it wishing unrelated festivals.

Authentic, accepted alternatives most welcome. At least, thanks to my apparent error, a lot more people are tweeting on Mahavira than they would otherwise have! https://t.co/vYHNgeeY22
