KATHMANDU (Reuters) - Dozens of Nepali women stripped naked and ploughed their fields in west Nepal, hoping to appease the gods and get some much needed rain, a newspaper report said on Sunday.

About 50 women in two villages in Kapilvastu district, 190 km (120 miles) west of Kathmandu, resorted to the desperate move at night on Friday as days of prayers and Hindu ceremonies failed to bring rains for the parched paddy crop, it said.

"This is our last weapon, we used it, and there was light rainfall," Nepali daily Rajdhani quoted one of the women as saying.

Although there is no clear religious basis for the practice, some locals believe such a move could appease the rain gods.

Officials said there was insufficient rain during the June-September monsoon season this year and vast stretches of land along the southern plains, Nepal's bread basket, were parched.

they better be hot or they arent getting any rain

I'd like to see that ritual repeated here in So. Cal. :D

I just reminded the wife that the lawn needs water.

can go to miami and get 3/4 the deal

any pics? :P

no but image good looking chicks.. no tops and g-strings...

I'm thinking that the women who plough fields in Nepal are rather rough looking, and that any rain that fell, was probably the results of the gods' eyes watering.

:D Sounds like somebody got his first fix looking at National Geographics

Med- If we could do that here, just what would the qualifications be for the Rain Goddess Contest?

It was the Gaugin exhibit........those chics were beefy...

All you need to do is just show up. :P
