Sam Holt in association with Frank fam Permanent Marks, LLC will screen their Hindu devotional pilgrimage film, “Haro Hara - Pilgrimage to Kataragama, Sri Lanka,” tomorrow, March 26th, 2008 at the Southern Asian Institute at Columbia University. “Haro Hara” follows a growing band of mostly Tamil pilgrims on a 2 month foot journey in honor of the Lord Murugan. This film is crazy for its trance scenes and extensive examination of Hindu devotional practices. Check out a guy who cracks like 50 coconuts on his forehead, the woman who goes into trance and crams her hands into the holes of a cobra’s nest and the dudes who roll around a temple on their stomachs all day long. Amazing!!
