The Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV) on Wednesday organised wedding of a goat and a sheep in Bengaluru in support of Valentine's Day.
Urging the Central government to declare 'a day off for love', Kannada activist Vatal Nagaraj said that 'love is every individual's right and it cannot be taken away'.
Nagaraj also requested the state government to pay people who marry for love.
"We should not object to Valentine's Day because love does not have any community or caste. The Central government should declare one-day holiday for love and the state government should give Rs 50,000 to one lakh to any couple who gets married for love," Nagaraj added.
The goat and the sheep were garlanded with flowers and had their foreheads marked with turmeric.
Meanwhile, numerous protests were witnessed across the nation against Valentine's Day.
Earlier in the day, to protest against Valentine's Day celebration, Bharat Hindu Front cadres performed marriage rituals between a dog and a donkey in Chennai.
Later the protesters were detained by the Chennai Police.
Meanwhile, the Bajrang Dal in Maharashtra's Nagpur threatened that couple, who will be found celebrating Valentine's day in public will be married off immediately.
The group of people even took a rally in Nagpur on Wednesday to protest against the celebration of Valentine's Day which they claim to be against Indian Culture.
"If they have the right to celebrate Valentine's day than we have the right to save our culture. We will take pandits with us and if we find someone in the garden we will get them married immediately," said Manish Moriya, member of Nagpur Bajrang Dal.
The Hindu outfit has also approached the pubs and restaurants in Hyderabad, asking them to boycott Valentine's Day celebrations.
Such incidents of moral policing by the right-wing outfit on this day are reported every year.
