The strange and touching moment a monkey appears to console mourners at a funeral in a village in Karnataka has been caught on camera. A video that has made its way online shows a langur walking up to a woman and putting its hands on her shoulder and head as if consoling her for her loss. The monkey entered the house and sat with the man’s relatives for some time before eventually walking away. It attends the funerals and mimics how we console each other,” Parameshwara Nayak, a resident of the town, who has spotted the monkey at other funerals, said. “Now we feel that no funeral is complete until the monkey arrives,” he added.
