Image description

An eunuch (R), dressed up as a bride, greets "Aravanan" during a ceremony reenacting the wedding of Hindu god Lord Krishna at Koovagam village in southern Indian Tamil Nadu state April 19. According to the Hindu mythology, Lord Krishna took the form of a maiden named Mohini and married Aravanan, to win the war for the Pandavas. The eunuch community consider themselves as re-incarnation of Lord Krishna and perform the wedding ritual at Koovagam on the full moon day in the Tamil calendar month of Chitirai every year. Eunuchs are castrated men used to serve as harem attendants or as a functionaries in certain Asian courts. GF/DL
