According to the rituals set by the ancestors of the vadgaon village, the God of the village is to be presented with these chicks. One could spot one of those vendors selling chicks at Rs.5 each.

Once you reach the temple the chicks you have brought with you are supposedly to be tossed on to the roof of the temple!

    A little joke , The word chicks has a dual meaning one is the chickens & the other are beautiful ladies, which one are you refering to ?. Is it the chickens mela or the chicks mela. I came to know it was chickens only after going deep into the page. Dont mind I just joked .

      very well said…

      People, there are better things to worry about.

      And more over, they are just rituals. As more education prevails, these will dis-appear.
      We must stop worrying about this silly stupid un-important things and focus on what's needed.

    I have seen this in the past and always felt how faith makes people blind to such acts…any type of animal sacrifice in the name of God is unjust and uncalled for…I no longer get to visit here but those scenes did make an impact on me and allowed me to stop a few from doing this…however faith overpowers people like me!

    It seems to be a playing with the tiny lifes…..
    we all must now learn how can we live ourself by just praying to god with honest heart, not by killing or throwing chicks on the roof, …..
    Greetings on the fair.
