From viral videos, it seems the deputy sarpanch got up the donkey facing forward.
INDORE: In a rather bizarre ritual, a deputy sarpanch in Madhya Pradesh’s Ratlam rode a donkey facing backwards on Friday in the hope it will please the rain gods and end the dry run in the region.
In sunglasses and with a garland around his neck, deputy sarpanch of Dharad village Manoj Rathore took the ‘extra-constitutional’ duty with a smile. The white donkey wore a matching garland.
From viral videos, it seems the deputy sarpanch got up the donkey facing forward. The villagers sat him right – facing the wrong way – and the procession set off from outside a temple.
