a native volunteer neighborhood dedicated to social issues, Om Shiva Sewa Shakti Mandal, organised the symbolic ceremony.

The Om Shiva Sewa Shakti Mandal neighborhood say that the separation may still optimistically put a cease to the incessant pouring.

Of path, getting two amphibians in the identical house on the equal time has its challenges (they're doubtless no longer on talking phrases) so the group needed to improvise when enacting the divorce.

all the way through the symbolic separation ceremony held at a Shiva temple, they used two clay frogs which have been placed earlier than the Shiva statue.
