Hundreds of people in Andhra Pradesh’s Kairuppala village celebrated the first day of the Marathi Hindu New Year by pelting each other with balls of cow dung on Thursday.SOT, Narashimha, villager (Telugu): "If we apply the ash in the name of our God, and participate in the event, nothing will happen to us if the dung cake hits any part of our body, and if it hits us from any direction. That’s the divine power of our God."Video ID: 20170330-078Video on Demand: www.ruptly.tv Contact: cd@ruptly.tvTwitter: twitter.com/Ruptly Facebook: www.facebook.com/Ruptly
