Fart or flatulence is a very normal part of human digestion. It is the release of intestinal gas produced during digestion process from a person's anus. However, this very normal action is looked down upon and most people laugh on the one who farts. In order to normalise this natural body process, a first of its kind farting contest will be held in Indian state of Gujarat. The contest named What The Fart (WTF) will take place in Surat on September 22. It gets funnier as the prizes will be for the loudest, the longest and the most musical farts.

This contest is a brainchild of 48-year old Yatin Sangoi and his partner Mul Sanghvi. They are searching for the next 'padshah' as they call it. The idea of organising such an event comes from personal experience of Sangoi who happened to fart while watching a movie with his family. Since countries like China, UK and US do have such events, he thought of organising one in India as well. His mission is called #FreeTheFart and people are taking keen interest too. Side-Effects of Holding a Fart: Know What Happens to Your Body When You Hold in the Gas.

The main idea for him is to completely normalise the action of farting. He told the Vice, "I want to normalise the process of farting. Even 20-25 years back, people used to fart openly, but now they’ve become all sophisticated and consider it gross, often shamed for farting publicly, when even doctors will tell you that farting is one of the healthiest human body functions." The winners could get a cash prize from Rs 5,000 to Rs 15,000. The judges for this fun event will be stand-up comedians and doctors. Fart Pills That Make Flatulence Smell Like Roses and Chocolate Every Time You Pass Wind Invented By a Very Thoughtful Frenchman.

He also told in the report that until now they have got over 40 participants from different cities like Jaipur, Hyderabad and Mumbai. There is a registration fee of Rs 100. One can get in touch with them on their Facebook page. That's not all, the page is also going to post recommendations for its participants about what to eat and what not to eat, in order to have a good fart! Well, things are bound to get stinky here, quiet literally.
