The ritual of frog marriage is conducted in Bastar region, when first half of the monsoon goes dry. A person from Marar caste makes the marriage crown from palm tree leaf. The Gayeta or the priest brings two frogs and the youth makes marriage pavilion by the branches of Mahua tree. The belief behind the ritual is that the frog couple will croak and this will result in heavy rainfall.
