Dozens of Hindu worshippers celebrated Govardhana Puja by allowing cows to trample them in the Indian city of Bhidawad. Worshippers lay prostrate on the ground while other people participating in the ritual lead sacred cows to walk right over the laying worshippers. The cattle, some weighing up to 400 pounds, then march through, sometimes stepping on the back or legs of the people taking part in the ritual. The centuries old ritual is meant to encourage God to answer their prayers and is performed after the holy day of Diwali.
