Where Pain Meets Devotion: Charak Puja Unveiled

Thousands of devotees gather in Moulvibazar, Bangladesh, on April 14, 2025, to observe Charak Puja, a Hindu folk festival dedicated to Lord Shiva. Devotees pierce their backs with hooks and swing from tall structures in acts of intense devotion and penance, marking the Bengali New Year with spiritual zeal and centuries-old tradition.
