A group of men were seen turning Dehradun's popular Robber's Cave into an impromptu dance floor after carrying a boom box through the tourist spot and blasting a Haryanvi song at full volume.
In a now-viral video shared by X account Himalayan Hindu, the group was seen making their way through the cave while playing music and dancing along.
In the clip, one of the men carried a large boom box balanced on his head as the Haryanvi song Lofar played loudly from the speaker.
The others walked alongside him, singing along to the track and breaking into dance as they moved through the cave.
The video was shared with criticism of the group's behaviour, with the post questioning whether such conduct was appropriate at a public tourist attraction.

The group appeared completely absorbed in the performance, with some of the men raising their arms and moving to the beat while others sang along. Their loud music and dancing stood out against the natural setting of the cave, where other visitors could be seen around them watching the spectacle.
The men continued their impromptu celebration as they walked through the tourist attraction, while visitors nearby appeared to simply observe the group and their unusual choice of entertainment.
The video was shared with criticism of the group's behaviour, with the post questioning whether such conduct was appropriate at a public tourist attraction.

Someone ban these HR LOFARS from Uttarakhand pls. How do you even behave like this in public? This is stone age mentality. And listen to their songs... 'Lofar they Haryana ke'. They literally admitted themselves that they are lofars. Btw this was at Gucchupani, Dehradun. pic.twitter.com/M6R827v7wr— Himalayan Hindu (@himalayanhindu) August 18, 2026
The clip prompted a wider discussion about tourist behaviour and public etiquette. Some viewers focused not only on the loud music but also on the lyrics of the song being played, arguing that certain Haryanvi tracks glorify violence and crime and could have a negative influence on young listeners.
Others said there was nothing wrong with tourists having fun, but felt that blasting music and dancing loudly in a shared public space crossed the line when it disturbed other visitors.
One person suggested that the government should introduce clearer tourist-etiquette guidelines, so people could enjoy public attractions without becoming a nuisance to others.
Another viewer called the entire episode “absolute nonsense” and urged authorities to take action against visitors behaving in such a manner.
