Man, you gotta love those gods... |

KATHMANDU (Reuters) - Dozens of Nepali women stripped naked and plowed
their fields in west Nepal, hoping to appease the gods and get some much
needed rain, a newspaper report said Sunday.
About 50 women in two villages in Kapilvastu district, 120 miles west of
Kathmandu, resorted to the desperate move at night Friday as days of
prayers and Hindu ceremonies failed to bring rains for the parched paddy
crop, it said.
"This is our last weapon, we used it, and there was light rainfall,"
Nepali daily Rajdhani quoted one of the women as saying.
Although there is no clear religious basis for the practice, some locals
believe such a move could appease the rain gods.
Officials said there was insufficient rain during the June-September
monsoon season this year and vast stretches of land along the southern
plains, Nepal's bread basket, were parched.
