MALAYSIA-RELIGION-FESTIVAL-THIMITHI

This photo taken on May 3, 2015 shows a Malaysian Hindu devotee (C) reacting while receiving blessings after walking on hot coals during a firewalking festival at a temple in Kuala Lumpur. Firewalking or 'Thimithi' is a festival originating in southern India that is celebrated in honour of Draupadi, who is considered the incarnation of Mariamman. Devotees partake in the ritual as an act of purification and as an ordeal to prove innocence, with the Hindu faithful believing that only those who lack faith will be burned - many fire walkers do escape the act without injury.
