Sakthi Kodu Vel Ayya


A devotee at Thaipoosam, Batu Caves, Malaysia. 05 feb 2004
Every devotee has his own way of paying homage to the Lord, this young man has ropes attached to hooks stuck through the skin of his back. He ran all the way from Kuala Lumpur to the Batu Caves while someone was pulling the ropes. This kind of devotee usually is surrounded by a group of friends from the village who play music and shout "Vel Vel Vetrivel" to encourage him. This picture sports the inside cover of the cd VEL.
