A special feast was also arranged for the villagers as part of the marriage ceremony as locals prayed to the rain god to meet the deficit.
Two boys were made to marry each other in a symbolic gesture to appease the 'rain gods' in Karnataka's Mandya district.
Villagers performed the marriage of two boys on Friday night and a feast was also arranged as a symbolic gesture to appease rain gods and bring showers to the region.
The rituals were conducted in Gangenahalli Village, Krishnarajpet Taluka of Mandya district as several parts of the state are reported to have not received much rainfall compared to the last year.
Thus the people of the state have resorted to old traditions and are following strange traditions to "appease the rain gods", locals said.
