Tulsi, 25, a eunuch from Bombay, bathes in a village pond before she wears a white sari, a traditional Indian dress that symbolizes her new status of widowhood after the death of her husband, the warrior God Aravan, in Koovagam, a village south of Madras, India, on Tuesday. Eunuchs gather in this small village to re-enact a story adopted from the Indian epic Mahabharata, in which they pretend to marry the warrior-god Aravan. Aravan had to be sacrificed by his people, the Pandavas, to win a war and was asked to get married and enjoy sexual bliss on his last night alive. To fulfill this wish, Hindu Go Lord Krishna briefly took on a female form - then became a “widow” the next day. Based on this myth, eunuchs regard themselves as the reincarnation of Lord Krishna.  (Gautam Singh / AP)
