18. Thaipusam – The festival of piercings
This Hindu festival is celebrated by the Tamil community and dedicated to Lord Murugan, the god of war, on the full moon in January or February.
The festival is also known for its bizarre way of showing devotion to god. Devotees often pierce different parts of their body with silver skewers and take on other physical burdens. Why would god ever be pleased by you harming your own body?
Wow amazing. most countries are way too backward. I wonder how people cope there.
Hmmm. Crazy people everywhere. what on earth is wrong with most people. Imagine eating the ash of the dead not to talk of that of a child’s placenta.. OMG
Eating a child’s placenta I heard is a common practice in China. I heard it has some health benefit, But hey carry your pregnant wife with your bare feet on burning coal is very good… lol!!!. It will help men control their down below knowing that their wife could be pregnant
The world needs to wake up. Imagine this statement “When a family member passes away, women from this tribe have to suffer physical pain besides suffering from emotional grief.”
What sort of devotion do we call no 18.
Devotees often pierce different parts of their body with silver skewers. So so Insane
