Summary edit
| Description |
English: Bhel Bhel is a religious festival held at Bandel which is about 60 km from Kolkata, India. Faithful Hindu devotees perform various rituals and offer symbolic sacrifices to the Hindu goddess ma sitala on a particular day in the month of April. The Bhel Bhel festival of Bandel has earned a reputation for its exotic nature where devotees fast undergo severe body piercings as a measure of devotion and penance. I went there to capture the various moods of the devotees and the onlookers.
