Scare and sacred! Nice photos Krishna
Feel scared watching this! But I have seen some like this in person!
Painful clicks. :)
Not sure why they do this, but I don't fancy such things.
Destination Infinity
Lord Subramaniya wouldn't like this, yuk.
Great shots. I have never seen them before.
Your photos are awesome. This is very different from my experiences.
must be torturous for them?
There is something similar in north..Kanwars or kanwarias, here also they take holy water in pitchers from Any Ganga to Shiv temple, sometimes 100 km on foot.
Lovely shots of festival...
Excellent photos. I don't know which one is more scarier. This or "thee midhi" (running through the fire). But we should praise the confidence they have in Lord Murugan.
Scary !
It's a bit scary actually. People have a strange concept of devotion to God. Why will God want people to inflict pain of themselves to prove their devotion? As such, the world has plenty of pain for anyone's fill.
very scary pics ,never heard this type of festival.....anyways nyc capture :-)
Beautiful clicks but I get scared to witness such scenes.
Beautiful capture even though hard to look!!! those are brave and faithful souls to go thru this!
