This picture taken on April 6, 2018 shows an Indian Hindu devotee performing rituals as she participates in a religious festival "Velvel" dedicated to Hindu goddess Mutthumariamman in Bandel around 75 km north of Kolkata. Devotees inflict pain on themselves by undergoing different ritualistic events for the wellbeing of their family with the belief that goddess Mutthumariamman will save them from all evils and problems for the next year. This observed during the last month of the Hindu calendar. / AFP PHOTO / Dibyangshu SARKAR
