pierced face

at the time of "charak" or "gajon"(worshiping of god lord Siva) some people pierce their face and body with the needles as a part of the ritual or celebration of the festival.The amazing part is how priests pierce sharp hooks at the bodies of participating sannyasis almost without any cut or injury. The bloodless piercing of sharp metals in the human body by the practitioner priests looks like a magic act.
