Jaintia tribesmen run in muddy water as they participate in Behdienkhlam festival celebrations in Jowai, in Meghalaya. Behdienkhlam is a traditional festival of the Jaintias celebrated after sowing, seeking a good harvest and to drive away plague and diseases. Young men symbolically drive away evil spirits by beating the roof of every house with bamboo poles.
