SYLHET, DHAKA, BANGLADESH - 2012/04/13: An ascetic devotee hangs from a spinning wheel attached with Charak Tree to celebrate the rituals of Charak Puja also known as Nil Puja in Sylhet, Bangladesh April 13, 2012. Charak Puja (Devotion to God) is an ancient Hindu religious and folk festival of Southern Belt of Bangladesh and West Bengal (India). On this day devotees penetrate themselves with sharp weapon and hook and hang themselves by Charak Tree, as they believe it will carry prosperity by eliminating the sorrow and sufferings of the previous year. The festival is actually a festival to satisfy "Lord Shiva", the great "Debadideb" of Hindu Religion. (Photo by K M Asad/LightRocket via Getty Images)
