Hindu Man with Machete

 Download JPG image

Hindu religious ceremony in La Reunion french island (Indian Ocean)

The guy holding the big machete is in some sort of trance. Later in the ceremony he cut the head off a live sacrificial goat, then walked bare feet on a long bed of burning charcoals. Intense!
