Footage shows thousands of devotees converging on a Hindu shrine to worship the deity Rahu in Bangkok, Thailand, on Tuesday evening October 17.

Locals blocked roads as pathways while they made offerings to the figure linked with the eclipse, chaos, and mystery. It happens once a year when the mythological planet Rahu is said to move from one zodiac sign to another.

The Rahu transit is said to be an important turning point in life that may lead to changes both good and bad.

Hinduism was first introduced to the Khmer Empire by Indian traders between 100 BC and 500 AD. Parts of the mighty empire became Siam and then modern-day Thailand, but strands of the Hindu religion remained.
