Telangana Farmers Hold 'Frog Ceremony' For Rain Amid Monsoon Deficit

Farmers in Telangana are turning to traditional rituals to seek rain as monsoons have been significantly below average. From June 1 to July 10, the region experienced a 19% rainfall deficit, causing distress among agricultural communities dependent on timely monsoon rains. The "Frog Ceremony," an age-old practice, is being performed to invoke rain, highlighting the dire need for monsoon recovery. This situation underscores the vulnerability of agriculture to climate variability and the reliance on traditional practices in the face of modern weather challenges.
