No, joking. hehe....
*gasp* Totally unexpected, a medium dipped his towel into the boiling oil and washed his body with it! I was not going to follow!! Notice the fire beneath, the oil was boiling.
Next medium rinsed his towel in the cauldron of boiling oil and washed his face and torso with the hot oil! Those helpers around him splashed more hot oil on him. Hot oil was flying everywhere!After the participants have their turns, it was opened to all the worshippers.
Chris being dragging into the ritual Surprisingly, the oil was boiling but it was not very hot. It was bearable. I dipped both hands in the bubbling oil.... for a few seconds only. There were helpers around helping out, making sure nobody gets hurt..
My hands are fine after submerging them in boiling oil!Amazing!!
They are powerful hands now. :)
I smell of oil for days though .... urghhhh

ReplyDeleteEcl,
ReplyDeleteWah! You were so brave. Can't bear to see your beautiful,silky smooth and pearly white hands ravaged by the boiling oil. Please don't do it again in future as you may not know the second time around.
Aiyo! You ah..make me scared only seeing the first picture ha ha!!!
ReplyDeleteWah really it wasn't that hot?? How come eh, esp since the fire is blazing away underneath the cauldron? Amazing indeed! :):):)
ReplyDeleteGreat, easier to comment using pop-out, and so much faster! :)
ReplyDeletewooww..it's really scary
ReplyDeletewow scary but really amazing one.thanks for sharing..Happy WW! mine is up too.
ReplyDeleteWow, where is this place? I want to go see....
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice picture when I opened your blog ! Was so suitable with my cup of coffee, lol !
ReplyDeleteNow I wonder why I should put my hand in oil ?? I would do it for gold !
Crazy!!! that's nuts!
ReplyDeleteECL,
ReplyDeleteWhy got such thing one? Later I must dip my hand into the oil when my mum is cooking later...
Aiyooo.... so scary lah the first picture..nearly made me pissed in my pants...lol..
ReplyDeleteGlad the oil did not burn you dearie...otherwise.. choy eh..
So now..your hands power is it?
Wow! Came out of it unscathed? It's a miracle! Any explanation scientific or otherwise, why you didn't get burnt in the boiling oil?
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, the oil that was used is not the normal oil we know of. I believe that the chemical properties of the oil must have been altered such that the boiling point of the oil is probably about 50 degrees Celsius or even lower. That way, the oil does indeed boil, but when people touches it, it is not boiling at a very hot temperature, so it does not scald the skin.
ReplyDeleteDo you buy my attempt to explain why your hands are fine after being submerged in boiling oil? It's my humble attempt to be scientific!
I wonder how they do it... scientifically.
ReplyDeleteReally tasty pics! Another form of beauty Spa...? *giggles*
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this ritual.
ReplyDeletewhat a relief to know that nobody really got hurt.whew!!!
ReplyDeleteI've seen a couple of those 'tangki' doing such death defying stunts back home. Never figured out how they pulled it off though.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried walking across those coals? If memory serves me correct, it's Thaipusan right?
Wow - outstanding story and pictures.
ReplyDeleteHappy WW
That first pic gave me the creeps but seeing the next pictures freaked me out hahaha, see now I want to try it out and go through that meditative thingy but the scent of oil hmmm does it come in lavander scent?? :)

Happy WW!
Shocking and amazing. Good your pretty hands didn't get hurt.
ReplyDeleteGruesome!! It must have been a special oil that boils at a low temperature I suppose. I hope.
ReplyDeletewow! I'm not sure I would want to do that.
ReplyDeleteTHAT is bleeped up!
ReplyDeleteMy Wordless Wednesday
Wow, what can I say? I've never heard of this before. I'm glad you didn't get hurt.

Good Day
ReplyDeleteinteresting...
ReplyDeleteHere's my entry. Thanks.
Oh my! That is a little freaky! Happy WW and as always an interesting and informative post!
ReplyDeleteWhat happened? How come no one got burned? Is this some kind of 'mind over matter' just like the 'coal walking'?
ReplyDeletethe first picture, is it real or just some Hollywood make up.
ReplyDeletelooking at the 1st picture want to click the X corner. glad i didn't. why they do it?
ReplyDeleteYEAH! I can comment again. Great post, eastcoast.
ReplyDeleteamazing! maybe because oil has a higher melting point. not sure though, just assuming things here.
ReplyDeleteOMG ECL! how do you always come up with all these creepy entries?
ReplyDeletewa!!! you're so brave, ECL! im so glad no one was hurt. Scary to see these pics. ><
ReplyDeleteYou gave a turn, looking at the first pic. Lucky it was not ECL.
ReplyDeleteWah, so brave to dip your hands in the hot oil. I wouldn't have dared to!
@lina,
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me? No way I'm going to dip my hands in boiling oil. Not enough 'faith' I supposed.
@ECL,
Honestly, do you feel the heat when you do that?
You must be quite a cooked :-P
ReplyDeleteThat first picture looks grotesque!
