The coconut temple courier
BBC NEWS | South Asia | The coconut temple courier service
15,000 coconuts on regular days, 100,000 on festival days. Batons in an infinite relay race - until the coconuts reach the Maa Tarini Temple in Ghatgaon of Orissa state in eastern India.
Religiousity to an extreme? Probably. But, what matters the most is that people are happy doing it. And there are ancillary industries - candy and coconut oil that have sprung up around the area. More power to the people.

The world can use all the happiness it can get. And I've learned something new today. Thanks.
I am fond of coconut myself. From what you have written it should be lokonut-logo ko pasand. Others have taken a fancy to it too.
