I just attended India's most extreme festival and I've never seen anything like it before in my life - even after visiting every country in the world! It's a 10-day festival called Dussera, and even though it's celebrated around India - no region is more intense than Tamil Nadu.
It's hard to comprehend what I just experienced - people having exorcisms and going into an unconscious state of trance. And the craziest part? I was the ONLY non-Indian at this festival of 100,000 + people, and this event has hardly been documented - by anyone! Also I appreciated that everyone at this festival was sober - that's how spiritual it was.
What do you think about Dussera? Would you ever attend it? Let me know in the comments down below!

I got sick for 3 weeks after shooting this video - fever, headache and a lingering cough. I couldn't handle the flames and breathing in the fire, among all of the other chaos that you saw. But to be honest, it was absolutely worth it to experience a festival like this, and I enjoyed being the only foreigner to ever document it!! Thank you, as always, for watching - and stay tuned for next week when I'll take you to Bikaner (Rajasthan) for the final video in my India series!
Different world, wow. Insane to see
Those are Spirits. You invited them in.
Another awesome video dude. U think you got sick from the fires at the festival, or mix of that and the food?
or maybe a spirit has come into you 😜and made you sick, scary scary scary 🫣😶🌫️😱
It’s relevant mentioning that the more crazier Dasara festival called Davaragattu Banni festival organized every year in Southern India’s Andhra Pradesh state. Google it. You will be shocked. Get well soon.

@@faycalmohamed3662what happen why people are commenting this
Can u pls explain me?
@@NARUTO-7764so basically drew came to somalia then he made a vid about how bad it is and the somalis got mad because they welcomed him very much so their spamming on his vids btw I’m Somali the only reason i knew about this because i was watching tv with my aunt then drew binskey came up and she said he made fun of somalia and she said look in his comment and i was shocked cause they spammed remember 4 years ago 🇸🇴 i hope that helped
What's up with the comment section? It's flooded with the same incoherent Somalia comment over and over.
India is socially, racially, linguistically, ethnically, religiously, culturally very diverse, sometimes we Indians are unable to comprehend, that is the richness of India respecting and celebrating our differences
Hey Drew since you are a jew you should visit the jews in India, the judaism came to Indian subcontinent way back than Christianity and Islam did, you can get to know a different version of judaism which is accustomed to the Indian subcontinent.
well I mean it is the most populous nation on Earth, with the 2nd (China) being a literal ethnostate, 94% Han. Of course they'd be the most diverse. That's just common sense tbh, sorry if I sound like a mean-spirited bitch, just calls it how I sees it, truly, no ill-will or bad-faith intended, peace from Australia.
@@alyssarichardson2544 well my dear china being one party communist state is imposing homogeneity, rather than celebrating their diverse culture and nature whereas in India that's not the case , being a imperfect but functioning democracy there's no room for domination of one culture or language over an another, and just because population is more doesn't mean that the culture should be more the point is cohesiveness in a diverse society and having an acceptance attitude , In India the dominant hindu religion is polytheistic in nature this religion has more than 330 million Gods, goddess and deities so it is not hard for us to accept an another allah or jesus, there is lot to tell but I will end up at this note come to India and feel for yourself.
@@soloist7880 honestly what you're saying fascinates me, I was just trying to say "yeah no shit of course the non-ethnostate country with 1.4 billion people (more than the entirety of Africa) is the most diverse on Earth.
It wasn't a shot at any of the cultures or ethnicities, Africa with it's 1.2 billion people with thousands of ethnic-groups with different cultures."The Indian-Subcontinent" is known that way for a reason, I'd imagine. Nearly 2 billion people, that's incomprehensible levels of multiculturalism and I admire you for it.
I'd also imagine there are a LOT of differing, interesting stories coming out of such a historically-rich place. I'd love to visit there some day. My cousins are both half Sri Lankan, part of said sub-continent, and I'd love to visit some day if I can afford it.
Honestly I wish you nothing but love and prosperity, peace from Australia ❤
@@alyssarichardson2544India is diverse because India is not one country ..India is a collective of states that come together ... India is so diverse that every 100 Km food changes people change their culture change ...
@@alyssarichardson2544you can visit anytime ..India is very affordable...apart from flights charges rest all will be very affordable

Really, this is probably one of the most intense videos I watched in your channel. The sheer intensity of the subject kind of reminded me of an underrated Indian TV series of 2000s, named Mano, Ya Na Mano ("Believe, Or Don't Believe" in English), which showed the events which dealt with supernatural phenomenon.
My, your content is getting better and better by everyday! Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
Whoever is reading this, I wanted to say I hope you have a great day and that God loves you so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to die on a cross for your sins and He rose again from the dead three days later. God Bless!
And also, He doesn't want you to go to Hell, but He wants you to go to Heaven with Him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved!
1. Believe that God sent His Son
(Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that He rose again from the dead 3 days later.
2. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins and Turn away from your sins. If you sin again after asking forgiveness of that sin, ask forgiveness again and try not to do it ever again. Jesus will forgive you!
3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for Him to be your Lord and Savior forever.
4. Build a Personal Relationship with Jesus by Praying and Reading the Bible daily and Live for Him Forever.
I'm Praying for you and you are loved
(Romans 10:9-13))
I remember watching Mano, Ya Na Mano on Zee TV in the late 90s!
@drewbinsky drew I need you to go back to the South Papua tribe and ask them to sing more hyms. I'm serious something about it is spiritual and the people need more than 30 seconds of that masterpiece 🙌

Thank you for sharing. India's diversity is so pronounced that every state and region holds its own uniqueness. Occasionally, even native Indians may be unaware of certain festivals.

You did such an amazing job at documenting this wild festival! it is so cool!
oh my… this is an experience. I just love festivals with so much passion, color and intensity.
Remember 4 years ago🇸🇴
In case anyone wants the name/spelling of the festival - Kulasai Dasara ; organised by the Mutharamman Temple ; celebrated in Thiruchendur, in the Thoothukudi district of Tamil Nadu.
(Such a wonderful history. Thanks for sharing this festival so we could all learn about it. 🙏🏽😄)
That was really intense and cool. This was a great video. Thanks for the share. The closest i have been to that kind of experience was at the Hari Krishna temple in L.A. It's a cool temple but wow this was really intense.
I’m an 18 yrs old Indian, and this is my first time hearing about this festival!,!!!! Wtfff this carzyyyyy

I find it interesting how many cultures throughout the world uses fasting to be closer to their deity. The abrahamic religions all have fasting and so does Buddhism
Islam has the answer. We believe prophets were sent with the same message to all peoples. But later generations deviated from the Prophet’s path and would innovate new practices and beliefs beyond recognition of the original message. All prophets were prescribed with only worshipping the 1 Tru God, prayer, fasting, pilgrimages, giving to charity etc. Islam is the final reminder of the original message and the final book Qur’an is the only scripture which has been preserved since no Prophet will come again. God knows best.
I absolutely love your videos. Keep making more fire content!
Anybody, and everybody should be free to sing and dance, whomever they are
Amazing traditions.
Thanks for sharing. 😊❤👍👍👍
The more different a place is, the better I like it. That being said, I am not into physical discomfort. This would totally be my jam! Best video!!
A reminder that even amidst the vibrant chaos, there's always a deeper meaning to celebrate. As somebody who visited India before to film one of our TV show episode, too bad that I wasn't able to visit this. Hopefully soon, I could come again!
India is one place ... where ur content is never enough so good luck.. we love ur videos Drew

Crazy but nothing suprises me anymore 😂 another great vid thanks drew man 👍
Hi Drew Binsky, i am a subscriber of you from Tamil Nadu, in thiruchendur the surasamharam festival is dedicated to Lord Muruga, Surapadman the devil was killed by Lord Muruga and is celebrated for the victory of good over evil, i hope you visit many more tamil nadu temples👍
But looks like this is Dusshera festival, right? Not Surasamharam
Go to Singkawang, Indonesia on the 15th day after Chinese New Year you'll see a vibrant festival with a chinese deity performing extreme act & people getting possesed
You’re awesome 👏🏽 drew
Thank you for what you do, you show a side of the world none of us would see if it weren’t for your videos
Bro this is insane, i m from india and never listened about this festival, "❤mera bharat mahan❤"
Nobody cares about other cultures in India than their own (and other some dominant cultures).

its kind of mega pooja type stuff but still shocked and sad to know how next gen have lack of knowledge towards there own religion

This reminds me of the festival we have i Macedonia more specifically the Vevčani Carnival hehe..
seriously bro 😳 most of North India had no idea about either kulasai mutharamman dashara nor Meenakshi chithira festival these two a epics of South Tamil Nadu and one the most ppl gathering of South india ! They talk about puri and kumba mela just visit these two festival bcz these festival are literally took for a entire month .Really appreciate you bro for this and appreciate those ppl who gave a info about this festival! In the April we will have chitrai festival in madurai...try to vist it bro ..
A book I recommend is called "Dancing in the Streets" by Barbara Ehrenreich. It's about how these festivals where people enter trance-like states are pretty universal throughout history and geography.
Don't know how, but your videos keep getting better and better

Drew its an festival that worship the godess kali which is named as mutharraman in that particular area of thiruchendur,they fast for 48 or 41 by eating only vegetarian food,not voilating anybody they live pure to worship godess
Yes
Mutharraman
This is really insane
The people who are participating in this festival are all Superstitious people.
your channel is simply amazing.
My home town is Tirunelveli which is 50km from Kulasekarapattinam where this festival is happening but I never knew it was this intense. It could be because I live in Chennai. This shows how diverse even the Tamil Nadu state is . Just think about all of India

Your christ is a demon himself don't teach us about our religion and beliefs. This festival is to celebrate Shiva the destroyer, who is a shamshanchari and is one of the three supreme gods. Just because our spiritualism goes over your head that does not give you the right to demean our practices. These practices are older than your jesus who you worship.
Really ! I was thinking about going just to get some cool pictures !

It seems like a festival of demonic possession. I would be terrified to be there honestly. You’re a brave journalist Drew!!
So much for respect for other cultures.
See I understand where u are coming from. Even I would be scared to go to a place where the aura is very powerful now u may not understand weather the aura is nice or bad because u don’t know anything about our Indian mythology which is fine according to me. In today’s time I like watching things about the burjo festival in Mexico and I too don’t understand and honestly I too would get scared going there. No offence to anyone. People are usually scared of something they don’t know or anything which is unknown/uncharted. Honestly I too didn’t know about this festival in india. Our beautiful country is too diverse, as if there is the whole world within. Now I don’t mean to say that u should visit there where drew has gone too but I can only suggest u only if u want to to start reading about our Hindu scriptures, all I can say is get ready to get ur mind blown reading it and understanding it.
ill explain it more lightly than babathudi basically this is exactly like the 'holy spirit' and just like in christianity (pentecost) the people who reveive the the spirit of god enters the people who dress like those "gods and godesses' making them go trance and all crazy just like protestant christianity and all of them look scary because most of the gods they represent are their ancestors. unlike mainstream hinduism like in north india tamils and south indians worship their ancestors as gods and in this video those gods are warriors and kings hence why they are represented as scary
@@joshuajohn74nah Christianity and Hindu are nothing alike
Pentecostals are not Christians, their beliefs and practices are heretic and condemned. The only true Church is the Orthodox Church
This is definitely a weird and crazy festival lol.
Indeed!

The way you have covered this festival was so nice. You are literally the first foreigner to cover the festival in this part of India and maybe the first foreigner to step foot in these places. These places are often overlooked. Been there a few times but the way you covered this festival is nice. Felt like I am seeing this in person.
