A video showing a BSF soldier posted in Rajasthan's Bikaner boiling an egg by placing it in the hot sand has gone viral.

In the blistering heat of Rajasthan’s desert, a BSF soldier stationed at the border near Bikaner has captured social media’s attention with a surprising demonstration—boiling an egg using only the sun-heated sand.

Rajasthan is enduring an intense heat wave, with temperature soaring above 46 degree Celsius and expected to climb higher. The extreme conditions are keeping residents indoors, but BSF soldiers continue their duties in the harsh environment.

A video of a soldier making the best of the situation has gone viral. The two-minute-59-second clip shared by the Press Trust of India (PTI) shows the soldier burying an egg in the hot sand.
