Vegetarian Festival.

Despite its peaceful elegant name, some of the rituals look pretty gruesome...

 

   

 

Firecrackers are going off in their faces...

 

 

 

 

[Korat Kiwi]

This looks more like the hindi festival of Thaipusam.  Very big in Singapore... went to a few in mid 80s.

 

Guys are in some sort of trance, with all these skewers through cheeks and other body parts... But no blood. Weird as heck. 

[LALes]

Here's two words you never see together...Mafia and Vegetarian.

Why is that?🤔
