A believer pierces his face during the Hindu festival of Charak Puja in West Bengal, India. “The rituals of Charak Puja, a way to show the miracle of God, are unique and, at times, a little risky,” writes Avishek Das, who shared this photo on Your Shot. For Das, getting such a shot had its difficulties. “People are in a hurry to complete the exercise soon, and huge mass gatherings are there,” he writes.
