Hindus mourn 'monkey god'
|
|
|
|
|
|
By Omer Farooq
|
|
BBC reporter in Hyderabad
|
|
|
|
Hundreds of people have attended the funeral of a monkey which became
|
|
revered as a divine incarnation of a Hindu god in the southern Indian
|
|
state of Andhra Pradesh.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The monkey was quite old and both its hind legs were paralysed
|
|
|
|
Animal rights campaigners say the monkey died of starvation and exhaustion
|
|
after being trapped in a temple for a month by over-zealous worshippers.
|
|
|
|
The animal was cremated in Anantapur district, 400 kilometres (250 miles)
|
|
south of the state capital, Hyderabad, on Sunday.
|
|
|
|
It had not eaten for three weeks.
|
|
|
|
Last rites were performed by priests in the village of Timmiganipally in
|
|
the presence of hundreds of devotees who had come to believe that the
|
|
monkey was a reincarnation of the Hindu monkey god, Hanuman.
|
|
|
|
Garlanded
|
|
|
|
One animal rights activist said his group's efforts to save the monkey had
|
|
failed because of the blind faith of the people.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The monkey's death came a day after he and others tried to move the animal
|
|
out of the temple, but were prevented by villagers.
|
|
|
|
The monkey, which was found perched on top of an idol of Hanuman a month
|
|
ago, attracted hundreds of devotees every day from surrounding villages,
|
|
as well as from the neighbouring state of Karnataka.
|
|
|
|
Devotees showered the monkey with fruit and flowers and worshipped it
|
|
around the clock.
|
|
|
|
'Exploited'
|
|
|
|
Locals said they believed that Lord Hanuman was visiting the village, as
|
|
the temple had stopped daily rituals after a dispute between two groups of
|
|
residents.
|
|
|
|
But animal rights campaigners complained that the animal was being
|
|
mistreated.
|
|
|
|
They filed a petition in the state's High Court saying the monkey had been
|
|
forcibly confined in the temple.
|
|
|
|
The group also alleged that people's religious feelings were being
|
|
exploited to make money.
|
|
|
|
The court then ordered the local administration to rescue the monkey - but
|
|
villagers prevented officials from taking him for treatment in time.
