About two months before Dashara festival each village Naik dig a hole of about 8square and nine feet deep and roofed with logs and mud so arranged as to leave one small opening. In this all unmarried girls of the village have to sleep. Any youth desirous of matrimony joins them there a night and next morning leaves his brass bracelet with the girl of his choice. The system has the advantages of giving both parties a choice in the matter.
