In June, another such theertha dispenser made by a Mangaluru-based assistant professor was also shared online. It works similar to the one we see above, a devotee has to keep their hands under the device and it automatically dispenses the holy water.

Similarly, robots have been used in some places as well. In Tamil Nadu, a humanoid is being used to scan customers for mask and dispense sanitiser in a garment store. These are some interesting local ways in which people are adapting to the new normal.
