Eighty people are facing charges by the Indian police after participating in an ancient Hindu ceremony, which involves burying children alive. "The festival of the pits" is a ceremony during which children, some younger than one year, are buried alive and dug up after some time. Indian authorities that have been trying to stop this ritual for years, finally took action at a recent ceremony held Monday in southern Tamil Nadu state. The Kuzhimattru Thiru Vizha ceremony, held every two years, is a gathering of parents who have vowed to bury their first child as a blessing. The children are drugged to make them unconscious and placed in shallow "graves" in temple courtyards. The pits are covered with leaves and dirt and the children are pulled out after Hindu priests chant a brief prayer -- lasting up to a minute. If found guilty, participants face up to three years in jail or a fine of 5000 rupees ($114).
