As India reels under intense heat, people have found innovative ways to combat the blazing sun. While several videos have surfaced from across the country demonstrating the perils of the heat, one clip shows an Indian wedding procession dancing under a mobile sun shade.
The hilarious video, shared widely on Twitter, shows how Indians will not compromise on anything when it comes to weddings, festivals or rituals.
Dhols and music accompany the wedding party, members of which were seen dancing enthusiastically, some even outside the shade.
Loud music is heard blasting in the video as cars and other vehicles pass by the procession. The wedding party kept dancing unfazed under the sun shade slowly moving along.
The sun shade was supported by metals grills attached to rollers and four people held on to each pole to help move the structure forward.
