Moo-ve Out the Way! Indian Villagers Trampled by Cows in Udderly Bizarre Ritual

Description

A bizarre ritual in the Indian village of Bhidawad sees scores of men lie down on the road while a herd of cattle is driven right over them. Crowds stand on either side, forcing the cows to travel over a narrow path where the worshippers lie. The men willingly get trampled by cows and bulls because they believe this act will cleanse them of their troubles and bless them with prosperity.

  • Cows Trample Hindu Worshippers in Centuries Old Ritual

    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.
