MP: Villagers organize funeral procession of a living man to please rain god

Rains have arrived in most districts of Madhya Pradesh. However, there are some districts where rains have not yet arrived. In such a situation, people here are resorting to superstitious activities to please the rain gods. 

The bizarre solution taken by the people of Dhar district for rains is currently the topic of discussion on social media.

Due to the lack of rain in Sardarpur of Dhar district, along with the common man, the farmers are also very upset. In such a situation, the people of Sardarpur took out the funeral procession of a living person to please Lord Indra, the god of rain. The people of the village took out funeral procession of a man named Mukesh Bhabar and roamed the whole village. 

Local people also participated in this funeral procession. In the funeral procession, people walking with drums and prayed for good rains. According to the local people, whenever the village did not receive rain, the same trick was used. Local people believe that after trying this trick, the rain god will ensure good rainfall.
This time due to less rain, there has been a shortage of drinking water. At the same time, the water for crops in the area has reduced, so rain is very important.

Significantly, from June 1 to June 25, Madhya Pradesh has received 79 percent more rain than normal, but good rains are still awaited in Dhar, Alirajpur, Barwani and Khargone areas. If there is no rain in these places, then the problems of the farmers may increase.
