Sacred & Smelly - Inside India's Gorehabba Cow Dung Celebration
In Tamil Nadu’s quaint Kumdapuram village, something truly extraordinary unfolds every year a festival where people joyfully hurl cow dung at each other!
Held at the historic 300-year-old Beereshwarar Temple, this centuries-old tradition comes alive four days after Diwali, drawing crowds of over 2,000 excited onlookers. The event begins with sacred rituals and prayers, after which villagers gather fresh cow dung and heap it behind the temple. Then the fun begins young men and boys, bare-chested and brimming with energy, form dung balls and playfully toss them at each other, turning the entire arena into a scene of laughter, devotion, and earthy chaos!
The origins of this unique celebration trace back to the discovery of a Shivling hidden in a dung heap, a divine sign that led to the temple’s construction centuries ago. Today, the festival blends faith, fertility, and festivity, with the dung later reused as a natural fertilizer believed to enhance crop growth.
This vibrant, unbelievable spectacle filled with color, devotion, and tradition is a visual goldmine for documentary makers, news channels, and culture-focused platforms seeking authentic, rare Indian customs.
Don’t miss the chance to feature this once-a-year, camera-perfect celebration where spirituality meets spectacle in the most unexpected way!
