This led to the women taking a strange Totka on Saturday at Salichoka in the Gadarwara Tehsil area, where the women ploughed themselves into dry land. First of all, the village head was tied from his head and hands and was placed in a temple in the village itself. The women of the village then reached the temple of the goddess for several hours, singing hymns and dancing to the fields to celebrate god.
