Coconut Smashing |
In Indian belief, the coconut fruit is a representation of the ego, i.e. it is a symbol of an individual's ego. When a person's ego is very big, they will not bow down in front of anyone. And to pray to god means to break this ego and there is no better representation than smashing a coconut at god's feet. Some religion in India breaking a coconut is symbolic of overcoming one's ego and surrendering themselves to the God.
