Two frogs were married today (June 8) in a bizarre ceremony in southern India which was designed to appease the rain god. <br /><br />Residents of Udupi in the state of Karnataka decided wedding two of the amphibians might end a drought which has hit the coastal area in recent months.<br /><br />They caught a pair of frogs from different villages, dressed them in garlands and wed them in a ceremony which closely followed Hindu tradition with hundreds of wedding guests looking on. <br /><br />Despite the forced nature of the marriage, the frogs appeared calm throughout the nuptials and were later sent on honeymoon to the city of Manipal. <br /><br />According to organisers, the newlyweds will later be set free to enjoy their life of wedded bliss.<br /><br />In the Hindu religion, Indra is the god of the heavens, lightning, thunder, storms and rain.
