Hindu devotees, their bodies pierced with lemon and paladai, or bowl with a spout mainly used to feed milk to infants, wait to participate in a procession to mark Shivratri, or the night of Shiva, in Chennai, India. Each year in February processions are held as an offering and a show of devotion to the Lord Shiva, the Hindu God of Destruction. The path of Shiva is often viewed as the true path of self, those are taught on this day about the positives of destroying the ego. They bravely pierce their own skin with often hundreds of hooks.
