It's that time of year again!
The Talladavi Cow Shit Fest!
That's right!
Our largest Asian immigrant population, East Indians, come from a place of great cultural wonder and traditions.
As their numbers increase in our great land, their cultural traditions will most surely gain a foothold!
Perhaps places like Texas, known for their cattle, and huge Indian population could implement such a wonderful fest!
Villagers of all ages in south India literally wallowed in cow dung on 30 October as part of a unique festival in a mix of unbridled enthusiasm and piety. Cow dung from thousands of cattle in Thalavadi, Tamil Nadu and other surrounding villages, was piled up in heaps for people to grab handfuls and splat on one other. The villagers who described the festival as ‘Goraihabba’ say the absence of rainfall coinciding with the event celebration on the third day after Deepawalli, a Hindu religious festival. The villagers prayed to their deity all through their celebration, smearing one another with cow dung to rid their village of all ailments and hardships. The celebration began with a group of villagers having a bath together at the village tank and going in a procession to the temple to the accompaniment of drum beats.
