Everyone is looking at the sky. There are no dark clouds. The ground is on fire. The field crops have also dried up. People are also shivering in the heat. want rain Rainwater will quench the thirst of the soil. The grass will become greener. The leaves of the trees will rejoice in the new life of the rain. Flowers will bloom on trees.
When will it rain? no one knows If you see a piece of black cloud in the distance, it seems that rain is coming. But where does that cloud disappear in the wind? Everyone is disappointed. There is only one temple in this village. Many people come to worship. One day the elders of the village came to the temple. The priest was performing aarti. Some people have come to the temple to eat Prasad of Aarti.
When the temple was empty, Shyamdadu said to the priest, You can understand why we have come to you. If you don’t do anything, none of us will survive. The priest said, I have given special pooja for rain. Tagore is not listening. Why don’t you listen to Tagore? Then you could not perform puja properly.
The priest could not accept this charge. He said, the way I have been for so long. I have done puja, that is how I have performed puja. In fact, this village is full of sins. People are doing many wrongs every day. Tagore could not bear it anymore. So he wants to burn everything.
Shyamdadu said, I heard you. What will we benefit from it? you are a priest You will find a way so that we can survive. The priest asked for some time. He also understands how much rain is needed. If there is no rain, there will be drought. The field will not produce crops. People will starve to death.
Shyamdadu had heard that once upon a time people could make rain by singing. Can you find people like that now? Every day everyone is looking at the sky and praying. But where are the rain clouds?
After five days, the priest called Shyam Dadu. He said to Shyamdad, if you marry a frog, it will rain. Frog wedding? Is he again or not? I have never heard of it. I found out that in a village in Uttar Pradesh, frogs were married for rain. Within three days of the wedding, it rained. If it happens somewhere, you arrange the marriage.
The frog will be married on the next full moon night. The wedding ceremony will be held on the banks of the biggest lake in the village. Everyone in the village will be there. There will be food and drink that day. No one will cook at home. Two large frogs were collected from the banks of the pond. These will be Barkane. Five village women came to decorate them. The two frogs are quite shocked to see such a thing. Such an incident never happened in their life. Tried to run away twice. But could not. Can you escape in front of so many people?
A roof has been constructed on the pond. The frog will be married there. The bride and groom are placed on two kachupatas. Lights are shining all around. Sanai is playing. Perfect wedding ceremony. Ajay came from the neighboring village to see the frog’s wedding. He is very curious. I have never seen such a wedding. In his opinion, there will be no result. If it rains only if frogs are married, there will be no drought anywhere.
The priest is dressed. The wedding will begin. Ajay said, you are marrying the frog, but what will you do if it doesn’t rain? Even in the crowd, the priest could hear Ajay’s words. He said, if I get an obstacle at the beginning, then it will not work. No one can blame me then.
The priest was getting up from his seat angrily. On everyone’s request, he agreed to marry the frog. The marriage has begun. The priest is reciting the mantra quite loudly. The two frogs look surprised. Ajay said, frog marriage has a different mantra? Who wrote that mantra?
Some laughed at Ajay’s words. The priest did not hear that. Maybe he would leave the seat and read. Meanwhile, cooking is going on. Everyone will eat. All those who come to the wedding will be fed. No one knows when marriage will end. Ajay thinks to leave.
While spinning Satpak, a frog suddenly jumped down from the leaves. The priest sighed. This happened at the very last minute? The priest does not know what to do. He lifted the frog back onto the leaves. He took seven spins. The marriage is over. Ajay said, is not good luck? The priest glared at Ajay. He said to the women, leave the frogs and come to the water of the pond.
The priest is now busy with packing. Ajay took water in his hand and threw it towards the sky. A few drops fell on the priest. He thought it fell from the sky. But he did not find a single dark cloud anywhere in the sky. How will the rain drop? Seven days passed after the frog’s marriage. No rain. The priest realizes that the villagers will rush to his house. Can’t stay here anymore. He ran away from home late one night. He was nowhere to be found.
