This traditional and sacred festival started in 1510 and was the 515th year this year. In this festival, 9000 naked men scramble to obtain two sacred wooded sticks Through this photo shoot, I realized the reasons why many men participate in this festival. Because they have religious faith, they want to pray for their family's safety and show their braveness and strength.
