Thaipusam Festival - Bizzare and Unique 
February 4, 2012
Thaipusam is a festival celebrated by Tamil Indian devotees in Malaysia. It offers worship to Lord Murugan. It is a bizzare event and has been shot for Discovery Channel.

Some devotees will spears themselves as part of sacrifice. Apparently, they don't really feel the pain and I don't see any blood oozing out.

Strange? See it to believe it.
