Indian frogs to seek rain to get married, frog marriage ceremony is what?

The ceremony of frog marriage is the same as the ceremony of human marriage, except that people's hearts carry the goal, so more devoutly hope that the "new couple" can be blessed.

The "frog wedding" is a custom in India and other countries to pray for rain. After seeing this report, I think India is really a magical country, and it all started in July of this year, when a particularly severe drought occurred in one part of the country, and crops dried up.

So a local religious organization in India planned this special plea for rain, and they found two frogs, a female and a male from different villages, and arranged marriages for them. The wedding was organized according to the specifications of a traditional Indian wedding, with the two frogs wearing formulated gowns, their foreheads painted vermilion, and the bride wearing a red gown, and the two newlyweds being held up in salute to the rain gods. More than two hundred people from the village witnessed the wedding and all the women also fasted before the wedding.

Miraculously it really did rain in India. It must be said that the two frogs have given so much to India. However, on September 11th, the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh was flooded with too much rain, and in order to reduce the amount of precipitation, India decided to let the two frogs who got married in the first place to have another divorce ceremony as a way to hopefully reduce the amount of precipitation. The frogs, who had been married for less than two months, were thus forced to get divorced, but didn't know whether to go through the divorce procedure.

The torrential rains are not stopping in India at the moment, with continuous rainfall having caused flooding and hundreds of deaths. The torrential rains have wreaked havoc and caused a host of problems in people's lives. If holding a frog wedding to ask for rain is a traditional custom, then we should respect this culture, but in today's increasingly advanced scientific development, frogs to ask for rain is not the most effective.
