Watch: Devotees offer live crab to Lord Shiva in temple at Gujarat’s Surat

Flowers, fruits, milk, sweets or coconuts are among popular offerings made by devotees to resident deities at Hindu temples. However, at a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva in Gujarat city of Surat, the faithful have found an unusual way to pay their tributes with live crabs. Continuing with an age-old tradition, devotees flock to the Ramnath Shiv Ghela temple on occasion of Makar Sankranti in the month of January with live crabs. Ever since, the people have believed that doing so will fulfill all their wishes and also ensure their well being.
