Description
Indian Hindu devotees mark the last day of the Bengali calendar with the Shiva Gajan festival, where they undergo body piercings and offer symbolic sacrifices to the deity Shiva. "Everyone has to perform the piercing ritual," said local schoolteacher Kartik Paridha. The folk festival is celebrated in West Bengal state's Batanal village in sweltering heat. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
