This is not new in the state of Uttar Pradesh; this ritual has been performed for decades to please the rain gods. Most parts of the country, including Delhi, are facing a water crisis. Now, a week into the rainy month of June, there is still no sign of rain in most parts of the country.
In a recent video that is going viral on social media, a pair of frogs were married in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, to please the rain gods. This tradition is followed in several parts of the country each year ahead of the monsoon.
