This news is from India. Many Indians organise traditional events. One traditional event is body piercing.

Body piercing happens every year. People pierce their bodies with threads. They say that God helps them. Thanks to God, they feel no pain.

People say that body piercing helps them. They say that it stops diseases.

Difficult words: traditional (very old and typical for each country), pierce (when something sharp cuts or goes through the body), thread (a long, thin and sharp piece of fabric), disease (when your body is very sick).
