A mask is shown being put on the back of
honey collector Madhusudhan Mondal's head, in Bali, a village in the
Sundarbans, India, Tuesday, Aug. 5, 2008. The Sundarbans forest, a
remote tangle of unforgiving islands dangling off the eastern edge
of India, is home to perhaps the world's largest population of
tigers, prone to attacking humans, as well as 4 million people who
are among the poorest in India. Locals believe that tigers do not
attack humans from the front and wear masks on the back of their
heads in the hope of warding them off. (AP Photo/Gautam

Young Indian devotees of Hindu God Lord
Krishna attempt to make a seven-tier human pyramid in the
'dahi-handi' (curd-pot) contest in Mumbai on August 24, 2008, as
part of celebrations of "Janmashtami" which marks the birth of Hindu
God Lord Krishna. Scores of Hindu devotees of Lord Krishna partake
in the dahi-handi celebration during which a large earthenware pot
is filled with milk, curds, butter, honey and fruits and suspended
from a height of between 20 to 40 feet. Sporting young men and boys
come forward to claim this prize by constructing a human pyramid
till the pyramid is tall enough to enable the topmost person to
reach the pot and claim the contents after breaking it. (PAL
