Image description

Indian eunuchs take part in a joint marriage to the Hindu god Krishna in the Indian village of Koovagam April 23. The annual Hindu ritual commemorates a tale from the ancient Mahabharata epic in which the gods promised victory to the forces of good in return for a human sacrifice. The tales says one man volunteered but as a last wish asked to be married. No woman came forward as none was willing to become a widow overnight. Krishna then appeared in the form of a woman to marry the man, and ever since eunuchs have re-enacted the ceremony in April under the full moon in this village in the southern state of Tamil Nadu.
