Murugan Ther Festival In Ontario
Tamil Hindu devotee carries a clay pot containing flaming camphor atop her head as an act of penance during the Murugan Ther Festival (Murugan Chariot Festival) at a Tamil Hindu temple in Ontario, Canada. This festival is part of the 15 day long festival that honours Lord Murugan which culminates with an extravagant chariot procession. During this religious festival several devotees show their devotion by making offerings and by piercing their bodies with metal hooks and skewers. (Photo by Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto)
