[caww]

Men fling cow dung at each other during the annual 'Gore Habba' festival, where people throw and smear each other with cow dung, in Gumatapura village situated some 180 Km south of Bangalore on November 6, 2021

[EvilCapitalist]

What a shithole.

[caww]

They certainly appear to enjoy rolling around in it

[mylife]

Poop fight!!

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

On TV there was something on the news the other day about Diwali being celebrated by Hindus in Chicago. They didn’t mention the manure fight, but they did say there is a push to make Diwali a federally-recognized holiday.

[Noumenon]

...a priest performs a 'blessing ritual'...

So - holy shit.

[DannyTN]

where people throw and smear each other with cow dung

Sounds like Democrats.

You want to bet that none of them are allergic to anything?

Exposing yourself to germs young and often creates a strong immune system.

Yea, we’re making fun of this in the West, but people in the West lately are allergic to EVERYTHING. From peanut butter to eggs to milk.

[beethovenfan]

What pathetic ignorance.

[caww]

Will never understand Indias culture norms....NEVER! Wallowing in cow poop because you enjoy it probably tops the list of severely low IQ

[caww]

Just wait till they declare their Holiday as an American Holiday.....they’ll be blocking off streets and bringing in truckloads of cow manure!

[EinNYC]

Doesn’t India make a lot of our pharmaceuticals? Ugh.

[EvilCapitalist]

They’re also behind a lot of those annoying telemarketer calls.

[caww]

HAHAHA! There’s certainly better ways of exposing ones self to germs without rolling in crap! I don’t think for a second they understand the immune system nor why they do that.

[EvilCapitalist]

At least you’ll know where to find all of the Bernie Supporters.

[caww]

India’s like that pretty much.....A student at my sons college said there are thousands of Gods,Goddesses and Rituals in India so you get to pick which ones you want to join in with.

[Mr. Blond]

At least it improves the smell.

[metmom]

They must have immune systems of steel.

[caww]

Sanitation is not a high priority India......heck they bath in the dirtiest river in the world and think it’s Holy....while dead bodiy parts float by they also bury there.

India is one nation I’d never step foot in....the culture is lacking in many ways cause their brains are so fried trying to reach Nirvana or whatever they call their spaced out event. ....truly screws with their brains.

[meowmeow]

I guess they didn’t get the message about cows and climate change. Or are they exempt because racism? I’m so confused 😕 💩
