The Charak Puja held on the last days of the Bengali month Chaitra (April), is well-known for its rites of body piercing and swirling from a high pole. A charhak tree consisting of a long pole with a wheel fixed at the top, is erected. A devotee hangs from this wheel with a hook. The wheel is then spun around with him at high speed. He pierces his body including his tongue with small nails, at times red hot ones. The devotee thus spinning spreads Prasad, handmade sweetmeats blessed with chants, among the curious spectators and onlookers. The root of this ritual lies in the belief in spirits and the cult of rebirth. Its rites suggest ancient ritual of human sacrifice. (photo)

Southern constellations around the Clock - Southern constellations around Horologium - Southern constellations around the Clock. The two bright stars are Canopus (bottom) and Achernar. This wide angle image includes Horologium, Phoenix and Pictor, insignificant constellations roughly centred on an arc of delination 50* south, but at a scale too small to show the star identifications and stick figures. Horologium, the Pendulum Clock (originally l'Horloge and then Horologium Oscillitorium), was a constellation introduced by Abbe Nicolas Louis de Lacaille during his stay at the Cape of Good Hope between 1751 and 1752. It was named to honor Christian Huygens as the inventor of this type of clock, but the idea for such a method of regulating time came from Galileo. Lacaille's constellation drawing shows a remarkably detailed dial, weights and a pendulum that has little apparent connection with the scattering of faint stars in this part of the sky.
