NOt for the faint-hearted: Chinese Kavati carrier with mouth piercing
Meditating or fear?
Pierced hooks are attached to the ropes and Kavatis(offerings).
The hooks placed into the back of the devotee
Devotees are carrying Kavati or offering attached to piercings into his body
Poking a large spear through the mouth. The family and supportes always chant 'vel, vel, vel' during this procedure and the pilgrimage walk to the temple. Vel means spear and was used by the God Lord Murugan to combat evil spirits
