RT published this video item, entitled “Holey Festival | Indian Worshipers Skewer Own Faces” – below is their description.
Hindu revelers undergo the extreme procedure to mark the end of the Thaipusam celebrations, a period of around a month’s worth of abstinence and fasting.
Some people round out such periods with blowouts and binges, but these worshipers choose to skewer their cheeks with lances, effectively creating temporary metallic cat whiskers from their new body modifications.
