The happy couple standing together moments after the ceremony
A cow and a bull have been married off in a lavish Indian wedding which cost £10,000 and took two months to organize. More than 5,000 villagers turned up to watch sacred cow Ganga and Prakash get hitched during the Hindu ceremony held near Indore in Madya Pradesh.
The nuptials were organised by Ganga's guardian, Gopal Patwari, to save the state's harvest from a 'natural disaster'
.Mail online reports..According to Mr Patwari: like every couple, Ganga and Prakash will have to work at their marriage and they are expected to be faithful and start a family
'Natural calamities like hailstorms and heavy rain occurred in nearby areas, destroying their crops.To prevent this from happening to our villages we organised this wedding on the advice of Sadhus and holy men.We have been told this will maintain peace in our village.'I am happy. People around me are happy. Everyone is happy.From here on we hope Ganga and Prakash lead a happy life together, just like a normal man and wife.They will go on and have children who will be happy and prosperous.We expect Hindus of our village not to forget our holy cow and remember their religion. The next generations especially should not forget. We want more weddings like this to take place in the future.'Invitations were sent to 10,000 residents of three closely connected villages, encouraging them to donate what they could spare. see more photos here...
