Frog Marriage
Driven by the folklores, the farmers of the Tikanpur village along with the neighbour villagers of Kendrapara district in Odisha used to organise a frog marriage ceremony to appease the rain god 'Indra' on the last tuesday in the month of May. The ceremony is performed with great pomp and splendour and villagers make all the arrangements for the bride (frog) and groom (male frog) to tie the nuptial knots in order to appease the rain god to bless the farmers for an immediate rainfall.
