Bears are normally terrifying and dangerous wild predators, but at this temple in central India one is happy to drink up mango juice offered by devotees and tourists. <br /><br />The Chandi Devi temple rests in a forest in Mahasamund district in Chhattisgarh state, and receives many worshippers during the month of October for a major festival. <br /><br />Most famously however, a family of friendly wild bears lives nearby and after ceremonies are completed for the day, they accept food offerings from the priests and more often Mangola, a mango-flavoured soft drink, from willing tourists. <br /><br />The bears are reportedly never violent and devotees can be seen in this video from October 18, taking selfies and photographs with the thirsty bears.
