NEW DELHI, May 6 (RIA Novosti) - A remote village in northwest India hosted on Tuesday a solemn marriage ceremony between a cow and a bull, the Indo-Asian news service said.
Hundreds of residents of a village in Rajasthan attended the unusual wedding, which included the "chanting of hymns and rituals, as well as music and sweets," the agency said. The owners of the animals played the role of parents to the four-legged bride and groom.
A priest at a local temple said similar weddings used to be quite common. Marriages between holy animals are believed to bring good luck and wealth.
