    About :

    In western Tripura, tribal tea garden workers recently arranged a wedding for two frogs in a ritual traditionally known as "bang er biye" (frog wedding). The amphibian couple tied the knot with poise after taking a dip in the river and dressed in elegant wedding clothes. In a video the frogs can be seen getting married as two women hold them up. Following Hindu wedding traditions, the frogs swapped garlands, following which the male toad put vermillion (sindoor) on the female frog's forehead to signify her as his wife. According to reports, the custom is done to appease Lord Indra, the Hindu god of rain. By getting the frogs married, villagers wish to please the rain god to ensure good rainfall, which will preserve their tea gardens from drought. In May 2019, two frogs were married in Karnataka's Udupi to ensure good rainfall. However, the frogs were later 'divorced' within two months of the marriage due to excessive rainfall.
