B'desh village marries off frogs to appease gods
Villagers in the Betura West Para village in Bangladesh on Saturday held a Hindu marriage ceremony between two frogs to appease the rain gods. Tracing the custom to the Ramayana, organiser Mahesh Chandra Roy said their forefathers had also organised such ceremonies during long periods of drought. Guests bought gifts for the frogs, and there was also a 'haldi' ceremony.
