This is a beautiful kavadi. I have yet to have the chance to do one. I have been suspended 138 times but never this. Does anyone know where I can get a set-up? If so hit me up on my IAM SteveBennett
Thanks,

That’s so hot I think my monitor exploded.
Yes, I know the main intent was not to arouse other people. Still… wow. 🙂
And I’m sure it was a wonderful experience, and that’s even better.

This is not KAVADI. I don’t know this is for show or for fun. KAVADI is only meant for hindus to celebrate on Lord Murugan’s birthday.
