In a small village called Rupal, located about eighteen miles away from Ahmadabad, in the state of Gujarat, India, a weird festival is observed on the ninth day of the Navaratri festival (the Indian festival where nine different goddesses are worshipped, followed by a typical dandiya dance). A chariot, made of wood of a khijada (Ghaf) tree, is used to carry the temple goddess Vardayini out of the temple for a journey of four hours across the village.
