A matrimonial advertisement in Nayandahalli, Bengaluru, has gone viral after a hilarious typo transformed “Bride & Groom Information Center” into “Bride & Broom Information Center.” The error, painted in traditional yellow and blue ink and displayed in both English and Kannada, has caught the attention of passersby and social media users alike.
The Hilarious Typo
An X user, Shashank, shared a photo of the poster along with the caption “Bride & what?” The mistake—using “broom” instead of “groom”—has amused many, with jokes circulating that after marriage, the groom will literally be handed a broom. The ad includes a phone number and mentions match-making services available in multiple languages, including Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and Gujarati.
