There are many bizarre rituals that have existed since ancient times, and some of them are quite shocking and even dangerous.

Even though these rituals are quite harmful, some of them are still performed today. Take a look at some of the most bizarre rituals on the planet.

1.BABY TOSSING RITUAL
In some places in rural India, there is a 700-year-old ritual in which babies are thrown off 30-foot tall shrines. Families throw their newborns believing that the ritual will bring them good luck and the babies get caught in bedsheets.

The old ritual started when a saint told the people to have faith and show their belief by dropping their babies, which would then be caught by a hammock that would appear out of nowhere.

The ritual is said to keep the baby healthy and give the child a long life. This practice received a lot of criticism in 2009, and it became illegal under India's laws, with no reports of the ritual occurring since 2010.

2.ENDOCANNIBALISM
Endocannibalism is a ritual practiced by people of the Fore tribe in Papua New Guinea but has also been documented in Africa and South America.
When a family or tribe member passes away, they get eaten by other members of the community during a religious ritual.

People practice endocannibalism as a sacred ritual and believe they can absorb the wisdom and souls of their loved ones while eating them.

The Fore tribe had strict rules concerning the ritual: children and women were meant to eat the males who passed away, and a woman was meant to eat the brain of her brother.

3.DEAD AMONG THE LIVING
The Torajan people of Indonesia have strict rules concerning their dead, and instead of cremating or burying them, they leave the corpses of their loved ones inside their homes.

The bodies are kept in their rooms and left there for many years. The family members of the deceased even bring them food every day and make sure that the bodies have clean clothes and cigarettes.

The tradition is hundreds of years old, and Fromulin is used to keep the bodies from decaying.

4.WEDDING BATHROOM BAN
Weddings in Borneo have a quite unique ancient tradition concerning newlyweds in the Tidong tribe. Namely, after the wedding, newlyweds are forbidden from going to the toilet or showering for three whole days in the belief that this custom will make the couple's bond stronger.

It is believed that going to the toilet after the wedding could lead to bad luck, infertility or an unhappy marriage.

After the wedding, people watch over the newlyweds, making sure they don't use the toilet and give them drinks and food in very small amounts.
