Thousands of Hindus couples and devotees from all over India gather at the deep Lolark Kund well in India's holy city of Varanasi to pray and take a dip in the well’s dark waters, believing the act will bless them with a birth of an offspring. As well as those praying for birth, there are devotees returning to offer thanks for babies they believe were born after they bathed in the well, with a special hair-shaving ceremony on their kids to show their gratitude.
