Frog Wedding Video Viral: Due to the restrictions put in place amid the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic in India, many people are getting married and breaking traditions with small weddings in their homes or with masks and social distancing. But the smallest and most nonconventional wedding you’ll see today is of two frogs in Tripura.
With monsoon season approaching soon, a pair of frogs were married in a town in Tripura to please the rain god.
The frogs wore traditional clothes and tied the knot with all the rituals. In the video, while one woman held the groom in her hands, another was holding the bride. A woman held up the groom dressed in orange and applied sindoor to the bride dressed in magenta.
The rituals also included a bath in a pond to new dresses and an exchange of garlands between the two frogs.

This is not the first time that frogs were wed in India. In July 2019, another pair of frogs were married in Madhya Pradesh to please the rain god. The two frogs were later divorced to stop the incessant rains.
