In protest against the celebration of Valentine's Day, activists of Hindu Youth Federation (HYF) performed wedding of donkeys near the Veerapandiya Kattabomman Statue at Periyar bus stand, at Madurai, Tamil Nadu today.

Led by HYF District President M N Rajan, the activists, numbering about 50, including 20 women, brought the donkeys in a procession and conducted the marriage in full public view.

With the 'bride' decked up in a saree and the 'bridegroom' in a dhoti, the wedding was performed with traditional Hindu rituals.

The protestors held placards demanding ban on celebration of St Valentine's Day in India which, they alleged, was against Indian culture.

Valentine Day is celebrated as a mark of St. Valentine’s love towards a girl. St. Valentine is one of the several Christian gods worshipped in western countries.
