Patna - Farmers in an Eastern Indian state have asked their unmarried daughter to plow parched fields naked in a bid to embarrass the weather gods to bring some badly needed monsoon rain, officials said wednesday last week.
Witnesses said the naked girls in Bihar state plowed the fields and chanted ancient hymns after sunset to invoke the gods. They said elderly village women helped the girls drag the plows. They (villagers) believe their acts would get the weather gods badly embarass, who in turn would ensure bumper crops by sending rains.
Be aware, India this year suffered its worst start to the vital monsoon rains in eight decades, causing droughts in some states.
