Amid the charged air of Kulasai Dasara, faith erupts in raw, unfiltered emotion. As divine energy courses through the crowd, devotees surround one among them, guiding their trance with sacred ash, lemons, and chants. In this powerful convergence of belief and surrender, boundaries dissolve — the human becomes divine, and devotion takes a living form. Here, the sacred ash acts as a Clotting material to stop the bleeding after removing the Iron stick from the cheeks.
