images show a bizarre ritual in eastern india where villagers , including children as young as 10 , roast themselves over the open fire in the hope it will bring them good luck .
revellers in the remote village in jharkhand state tie themselves upside down onto a wooden pole that hand hangs just feet above a raging fire .
seconds later the participants throw good luck to the village from drought and disease , adding that criticism over the safety is misguided and there are no reports of those taking part ever .
no one ever has been hurt ... , god shiv and goddess parvati watches over us .
