: An Indian widow watches as others dance as they celebrate Holi or “festival of colors” in Vrindavan on Tuesday. Widows congregated on a small patio of the ashram in which they live and danced and played with colored powder to celebrate the occasion. The widows of this and other ashrams in this northern town are sponsored by the NGO Sulabh International, which funds most of their needs. Shunned from society when their husbands die, not for religious reasons, but because of tradition, many Indian widows have been otracized from society and no longer live with their families and are forced to beg for food. Almost 2,000 of the estimated 34 million widows currently living in India live in Vrindavan and benefit from the welfare extended by the NGO. (ROBERTO SCHMIDT/AFP/Getty Images)

: Park Hyun-Sung, 31, and his bride, Park Jeong-Min, 28, wait for the start of proceedings at their seats in the venue of their mass wedding ceremony, at the headquarters of the Unification Church in Gapyeong early on Tuesday. Some 3,800 couples participated in the ceremony in Gapyeong, east of the capital Seoul. The church’s mass weddings began in the early 1960s and at first involved just a few dozen couples, though numbers mushroomed over the years. The teachings of the Unification Church are based on the Bible but with new interpretations. The late founder Sun Myung Moon saw his role as completing the unfulfilled mission of Jesus to restore humanity to a state of “sinless” purity. (ED JONES/AFP/Getty Images)
