  Villagers solemnise ‘frog wedding’ in Dhanbad to please rain gods

DHANBAD: Locals of Chungi village under Dumdumi panchayat near Rajganj solemnised the marriage of frogs in an age-old belief that such a union brings rainfall.
Wrapped in red cloth, the frogs were placed on a wooden plank where the villagers smeared red vermilion on them and took out a marriage procession. With Mahendra Dom playing the role of the bride’s father and Panchu Rajwar as that of the groom’s, the procession passed through the village and later the frogs were left in the fields.
“We are helpless as our paddy seeds are drying up for want of rain,” said a villager. Since there is no alternative source of irrigation, they are dependent on rain, he added.

You might have ridiculed Justice Mahesh Chandra Sharma for having said, “Peacock is a Bramhachari and it does not have sex with a peahen. The peahen gets pregnant drinking the tears of the peacock. Even Lord Krishna carried the feather of a peacock on his head.”

However here is another pearl of wisdom and its none else this time, than a sitting Minister of State of MP from the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP). Madhya Pradesh minister of state for woman and child development Lalita Yadav allegedly organised a wedding of two frogs at a temple in Chhattarpur to appease rain gods, drawing criticism from the Opposition.

Hundreds of people gathered at the temple premises to see the unique wedding, which was followed by a feast.

According to Hindustan Times, temple priest Acharya Brijnandan said, “The frogs’ marriage and feast is a very old tradition to please gods.” He is among those who believe that there will be good monsoon this year due to the ceremony.

However, the Opposition was not pleased and alleged that the minister’s act would encourage superstition.

On several earlier occasions, the Indian National Congress and many of the political parties across India have charged the Bhartiya Janata Party of encouraging regressive practices instead of promoting Scientific thought and practices.

The minister on her part defended her stance, saying the marriage was a “logical tradition which was necessary to balance the environment”.

Yadav represents Chhattarpur constituency, which falls in the Bundelkhand region that has been in the grip of a severe drought for the past two years.

In a similar incident, locals in Uttar Pradesh’s Varanasi married off two plastic frogs to pray for monsoon. Two people dressed as bride and groom reportedly carried the frogs on decorated plates during the ritual.

That slaughtered Goat have fed many people, what's wrong ? Animals and Plants ( which are allowed and not Poisonous ) are created for us to benefit from. Trust me many Millions in your country would use that sacrificed Goat/cow/camel, cause millions of your countrymen sleep with empty stomach.

 

[KAL-EL]

I'm crying tears of joy for the happy couple

 

[LakeHawk180]

Looks like a fun activity. Sort of like groundhog day.

 

[Maula Jatt]

It's actually kinda cool

 

[Paitoo]

Are they sure the frogs are of opposite genders?

 

[Nefarious]

Rumour has it they did froggy style

 

[RescueRanger]

Funny news aside, climate crisis and droughts are not a laughing matter:

Both India and Pakistan like the rest of the world have seen average rain levels decrease and max temperature levels increase year upon year (with the exception of 2002).

There is a green drought alert for Pakistan/Afghan border along with central Asia and Iran:

March 2022 saw the hottest and driest month to date in Pakistan & India respectively:

As you will see India and Pakistan are at Medium - High risk of drought:

People should work together to conserve water, reduce consumption, reuse where possible and recycle/upcycle used items to reduce strain on the planet. It is imperative that the world needs to start working on advanced water reclamation and preservation technologies combined with sustainable farming coupled with resilient crop seed research.

Actually you are right

Instead of slaughtering animals and then eating their meat like it happens all around the world

It is better to make that goat your father after making cow mother and then worship both of them

Makes perfect sense

 

[satyamev]

Makes perfect sense

or like in your case brother and sister becoming husband and wife and producing little Areesh.

Do they know if the frogs are of opposite gender? If not then it might be a progressive LGBT frog marriage.
