Trees 'married' to keep evil spirits at bay

Trees 'married' to keep evil spirits at bay :

"More than 250 people gathered yesterday in English Bazaar, in West Bengal state, for the ceremony as priests chanted hymns and decorated the conjoined trunks of two 25-year-old trees with colourful cloth, streaks of vermilion and garlands."

The people have married the trees to ward off the bad spirits which have brought misfortune to them. The trees received wedding gifts. The trees had been planted to bring peace but the government employees who had planted them had died and couldn't marry them. I sincerely hope the trees can at last bring peace to these people .
