Indian farmers -- desperate for rain -- have asked their unmarried
daughters to plow dry fields naked, in a bid to spark interest from the
weather gods, and bring some badly needed monsoon rain.
The nude girls in the eastern India state of Bihar chanted
hymns as they plowed the fields, asking for rain, witnesses told
Reuters.
"They (villagers) believe their acts would get the weather
gods badly embarrassed, who in turn would ensure bumper crops by sending
rains," Upendra Kumar, a village council official, told Reuters.
"This is the most trusted social custom in the area and the
villagers have vowed to continue this practice until it rains very
heavily," she told Reuters.
