The Dagger Matam of Mumbai, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

This guy uses the dagger to cut his chest…deft strokes..this is seldom seen performed any where else…though instead of the dagger guys use razor blades, cut in half within their fingers ..and beat the chest with a chant of Ya Sakina Ya Abbas ..
