More than 100 women danced naked in a remote mountainous village in Nepal hoping the gods will be pleased and give them rain.

The women gathered at a local school, smeared their faces with black powder and danced naked last week at Darbang village.

"People in this area believe Mahadev (hindu god) will be happy and provide rain once women perform such a nude dance," The Kathmandu Post quoted a local teacher as saying.


This, i guess, is not possible in india due to the mumbai laws against dancing girls. And it's raining in mumbai.
