In Nadi ("Nan-dee") there is an amazing Hindu Temple. We happened to stop by during one of their religious festivals.
The main temple is a spectacular array of colours.
Various people were setting up carts with various offerings of flowers and fruits.
Then we spotted this guys with all the needles, a devotee who was wandering around in a trance, murmuring chants, after 3 days with no sleep.
Quite crazy.
And then they hooked up the cart of offerings to his needles and he proceeded to tow it around the temple.
Sadly, because it was such a religious occasion we weren't allowed to enter the main temple.
But they did invite us to partake of the free curry lunch that everyone was receiving... pretty cool!
