An usual report has been made about certain villagers in a remote village in India who have taken to worshiping a toilet facility erected for them by the government rather than using it.
The toilet being worshipped
According to popular media reports, this happened in one of the deeply rural areas of India. The residents inaugurated a newly built toilet by performing proper ritual worship ceremony.
A plate was placed on the ground, in front of the toilet filled with a cup of vermilion, and a glass full of milk as another offering. The toilet seat and floor of toilet was covered with flowers, while coconut and bananas were offered to the god of toilets.
Social media users across the world have frowned at this development which is being described as primitive.
