The village of Devidhura, in India’s Uttarakhand state, celebrates a bloody ancient tradition which aims to appease the Hindu goddess of Varahi, a female form of Lord Vishnu who is hungry for blood sacrifices. In order to satisfy Varahi's thirst for blood, able-bodied men get together for the festival of Bagwal Mela, which takes place in the first week of August. The men arm themselves with sticks, stones, and wooden shields, and engage in a real battle in a bid to draw enough blood to ensure the goddess' pleasure.
These ten silver coins were hidden inside of this bishop piece with a false bottom from an ivory chess set over 500 years ago, most likely to protect the money from theives and robbers. Archaeologists rediscovered the ten coins inside the bishop piece, which date back to the times of renown Russian tsar Ivan the Terrible, found during an urban renovation project replacing old gas pipes in central Moscow. As of now, only the white bishop piece has been found from the set, but archaeologists suspect that all the pieces may have had hollow bottoms.

An eager audience of spectators looked on as French artist Abraham Poincheval emerged from the centre of a 12-tonne rock at the Palais de Tokyo art museum in Paris on Tuesday. The artist had been entombed for a week in the custom-built stone, remaining in the same sitting position without moving for a whole seven days. Poincheval designed the rock himself so that he could sit upright while encased but also receive air, water and soup directly to his mouth regularly through several small openings in the stone. What was it like to be trapped in one position for an entire week? Poincheval had this to say about his unusual forced meditation experience. The 44-year-old is no stranger to forcing himself to sit still in small spaces for long periods of time. Poincheval spent two weeks trapped inside a stuffed bear after some assistants sewed him shut. His next project involves him becoming a human hen - he will hatch eggs by sitting on them for weeks at a time.
