Children were tossed into a pile of cow dung during the Hindu festival of Govardhan Puja.

Footage from October 26 shows devotees in Betul, Madhya Pradesh, decorating the faeces with flowers before dropping the infants into the poo.

The festival is devoted to Govardhan Hill and to the deity Krishna. Locals believe the children who lie in the dung will have good luck and protection from diseases.
