Recently, the bagwal Festival, a traditional religious festival, was held in Uttarakhand, India. Although the authorities ordered to prohibit people from throwing stones at each other according to tradition, most people still did not comply with the regulations, resulting in more than 120 people being injured by stones.
It is reported that India has a vast territory and there are thousands of Hindu gods, so that some special beliefs and religious customs developed everywhere surprised the outside world.
According to Indian media reports, there is an ancient religious festival bagwa festival in North akand province. Believers believe that only by throwing stones at each other, when some people bleed or even die, can they please the Hindu goddess barahi devi.
Because such religious activities are easy to cause casualties, the authorities have long prohibited them.

Josh also said that in the early years, people had to sacrifice their lives every year to please the goddess. However, according to legend, later, an old woman who was asked to sacrifice her only grandson to please the goddess prayed to the goddess. The goddess entrusted a dream to her, saying that people can throw stones at each other and shed blood on the ground as much as possible, which can be regarded as sacrificing people's lives to the goddess. Therefore, it evolved into people throwing stones at each other during bagwa Festival.
According to tradition, feudal lords everywhere led people into two groups and threw stones at each other on bawag Festival until the chief priest of the temple sent a signal to stop.
