Hindu Body Piercing Ritual
Three shots of an ornately carved Hindu temple framed by palm trees, followed by several shots of a religious ritual involving body piercing. Large needles run through a man's cheek and mouth, and smaller needles are inserted into his chest and arm. Another man has numerous long needles protruding from his back and abdomen in a design resembling spokes in a bicycle wheel. A woman with pierced nose holds a baby, followed by a parade of pierced zealots.
