Devotees at Indian temple smoke ... cannabis???

In a bizarre ritual, large number of devotees visit a temple in Bangalore's Chitradurga district and smoke cannabis during an annual festival as an expression of their devotion to the deity here.

The temple's main deity Nayakana Hatti Tipperudraswami is said to be the incarnation of Lord Shiva.

Visiting this temple during the annual festival shows how men and women consume cannabis during this festival, held in March, in the name of the strange belief. More...
