Ramakant Verma of the Hindu Mahasangh said, ”The entire area is facing a drought-like situation. Five days of Sawan (a month in the Hindu calendar) month have already passed, but there is no rain.” ”Last week, we performed Hawan Pujan… Now we organised the marriage of a pair of frogs. We hope the ritual will work and we will have rain in the area,” he said.
The people present there asserted that the ritual will certainly work and they will get respite from the heat.
