A large group of devotees took out a nearly 10-feet-long phallus in a religious procession.

The crowd, comprising mostly men, also carried large traditional Indian paintings showing copulating couples.

The incident occurred in the Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India, on March 2 during a celebration of the popular Holi festival.

The giant phallus depicted a folk god of sex Eloji, who is widely worshipped in Western Rajasthan. Nearly all villages in the area will have a statue of Eloji God showing him as a strong man with moustache exhibiting his long penis.

During Holi, Eloji’s devotees take out processions and sing songs in his praise.

While men seek enhanced sexual power, women worship him to be gifted with a male child.
