Two trees `married'
Dec 8 2006 By The Journal
Two trees, that have grown around each other, have been married by Indian villagers in a bid to keep evil spirits at bay. More than 250 people attended the ceremony in English Bazaar, in West Bengal state, where priests chanted hymns and decorated the conjoined trunks of two 25-year-old trees with colourful cloth, streaks of vermilion and garlands.
