Summary

[edit]
Description

There are many Indian festivals that celebrate the rice harvest, the stars and light. Among these, Thaipusam is by far the most spectacular.

These devotees have their tongues and cheeks skewered with long silver needles and metal hooks pierced to their chest and backs. The most extreme form of devotion is the carrying of the spectacular Kavadi for the deity.
