Dancing is a special feature of Indian worship and is often strenuous. The man in the 

 picture danced three times around the rock of Tirupurankundram, a distance of some six 

 miles, carrying this heavy ornamented wooden frame on his shoulders. Note the garlands 

 of flowers around his neck and the rings on his toes.
