In Rohtak, there's a 300-year-old tradition: for 24 hours, the village is sealed off. No one comes from outside, and no villagers leave.

In the Bhaini Chandrapal village of Rohtak district, India, a 300-year-old religious and social tradition was observed on Wednesday. During this time, the village's boundary was sealed for 24 hours. This period included a ban on outsiders entering the village and restrictions on villagers leaving their villages. The tradition began at an ancient Shiva temple located at the village's main junction. From there, young men carrying dhooni (a type of drum) reached the village boundaries and every household. They carried forward the tradition.
