Imagine taking 7 pheras with a dog, putting sindoor on the animal, dancing to music, and then feasting the whole village for this wedding ceremony. Looks like a comedy script of a Bollywood movie. But no. This actually happened in reality. 

Recently we saw actor Suraj Sharma marrying a tree in the movie ‘Phillauri’ because he was manglik, and as a result ends up with ghost Anushka Sharma, who lives on that tree, as his wife. But today, we will present you some real life examples where human-animal marriages are not only common, but also celebrated with pomp and show, not just in India but around the world.
In mythology, it was common for a human form to marry into animal world. Lord Hanuman’s mother Anjani married an ape, Jambvant in Ramayana was a bear whose daughter married Lord Krishna, and snake princess Ulupi proposed Arjuna.
But reality is stranger that fiction.
