Overview
- Priti Jain shared videos on X showing a macaque grabbing her new prescription sunglasses at Uluwatu Temple, and her caution to skip the site or be extremely careful spread quickly.
- She said she relies on strong lenses and avoided near-blindness only because she carried a spare pair, and she later dodged a second attempted grab after switching to regular shades.
- Indian outlets including Hindustan Times, India Today, and News18 amplified her post, with commenters recounting similar thefts and describing attempts to trade food for stolen items.
- Jain replied that a guard did try offering food to recover her glasses, yet the monkey fled, illustrating how ad‑hoc retrieval tactics can fail.
- No official response or new measures were reported, as coverage focused on the viral account, the temple’s reputation for monkey thefts, and Jain’s view that the visit felt stressful and underwhelming compared with other sunset spots.
