Alternative Indian custom

Have you ever seen a wedding for frogs? I believe most people find it incredible.

However, in Takhapur, a remote village in India, villagers sought rain through a wedding for frogs who, in their view, sounded like some sort of superpower when it was about to rain.

Frogs are a mascot for them, a good thing! In a village about 85 kilometres east of the Indian city of Sileguri, the villagers performed a ceremony to “remarry” two frogs.

It is a local custom to marry frogs for the sake of the rain and for the better.

Hundreds of villagers in Assam, India, pray to the Rain God to end the drought and to marry a frog.

One of the officers who attended the wedding said, "Our region did not see much rain this year, so we arranged a wedding of two frogs to please Rain God." The ceremony began with the capture of two male and female frogs from different villages.

Das said: “We must ensure that frogs come from two different villages, and only then can Rain God accept our appeal.

When the frogs are ready, the whole wedding ceremony is just like our own human wedding ceremony.” The people came from all over the villages for this wonderful six-hour wedding and over 1,000 people attended the wedding in the local park.

Two frogs were dressed in traditional colours, in which female frogs were even wrapped in gold chains.

At the wedding, the saints who celebrated the wedding recited the traditional prayer words, and after the wedding the frogs were brought to the nearby pond for their life.

The villagers continued to eat, and more than 900 meals were supplied.
