NEW DELHI : Transgenders in India's Chennai city have launched their own marriage website through which they hope to find like-minded suitors.

One can often see them dancing at weddings or at the blessing ceremonies of newborn babies.

They appear uninvited to seek money. And it is not easy to turn them away without paying a hefty sum.

Commonly referred to as 'hijras', the transsexuals in India are looked at with widespread superstition.
