Trance behavior
(Malaysia: Thaipusam in KL)

January 2005
Malaysia: Thaipusam in KL: Trance behavior

Walkers who had been placed into a trance by a priest at the river were exhibiting some remarkably strange behavior. There was a lot of drooling and pausing for minor fits, usually punctuated by sudden screams and accompanied by eerily wide eyes. Here you can see the woman in the foreground and the girl in the background each reacting in their own way.
