Top 10 strange customs in the world
There are many kinds of traditional customs in the world, and there are often some customs that seem very strange to outsiders. The editor of the World Customs Network below has taken a look at the top ten strange traditional customs in the world, so that everyone can understand our world better.
1. India—Hindu members Aghori cannibalize
Aghori is a member of Hinduism. They worship Shiva because they think Shiva has created everything and that everything Shiva created is not bad. For this reason, they drink alcohol, take drugs, and eat meat without restraint. However, they have a grotesque custom, they will wear the clothes of the dead and put the dead body in the temple for cremation.
The most shocking thing is Aghori cannibalism. They will pick up the bodies floating on the river, break up their limbs, and eat them raw.
2. India-Children throwing at high altitude
Every year in Solapur, Maharashtra, India, a very special event is held, where parents throw their children down from a 50-foot tower. But someone caught it under the sheets. Parents believe that this practice will keep their children healthy throughout their lives. This event is generall hiy held by Muslims, but some Hindu families will also participate in this event. The government is opposed to high-altitude children activities, so local authorities will do a good job of maintaining law and order.
3. Rural areas in Southeast Asia-gold and silver stuffed under the foreskin
