Dozens of devotees lined up to have coconuts smashed open on their heads during this ritual in Dindigul, Tamil Nadu.

Footage from August 7 shows priests heating up the coconuts on an open flame before smashing them on kneeling devotees' foreheads.

A couple suffered injuries but were treated by priests at the temple.

Devotees believe that this ritual during the Tamil month of Aadi will lead to their prayers being answered.
