<p>India's Yamuna River is filled with toxic foam right now. But that didn't deter devotees from taking a dip in the river on the occasion of Chhath Puja. A viral video on the internet shows a woman washing her hair with the froth floating around, shocking netizens.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Every year around this time froth appears on the surface of the river, but devotees are ignoring the warnings and going ahead with the festivities in the river, bathing and taking dips in the polluted water.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The woman in the video can be seen taking a bath in the river and even using the foam on her hair like shampoo. Several more women are with her standing in the knee-deep water with toxic foam&nbsp;floating around them.</p>

<p>People were shocked to see the women standing in the water and bathing. One user wrote, "Is this really happening?"&nbsp;</p>

<p>Another pointed out ironically that, "All that foam is not shampoo!"</p>

<p>Toxic foam can lead to various health hazards. A user stated that the woman would need to see a skin doctor in a few days.</p>
