hell

the hell is like this

We’re all sinners, in our own twisted ways. Also all of us have a certain fear for the afterlife. (Well, some of us do.) What happens in the afterlife? Apparently, our Hindu ancestors have a whole book dedicated to scare the crap out of us to keep us in line. The tortures conceived in this book are not only gruesome but some are just downright creative.

 
Yeah, yeah we’re talking about the Garuda Puranam, all of us have seen Aparichitudu we get it. But the movie only gave us the trailer of Garuda Puranam. Here’s the real deal!
 
P.S. Please don’t think we are a bunch of Psycho serial killers. Please.

So I realized while writing this article that it isn’t easy to find pictures that accurately describe a really gruesome torture method. Also apparently, accounts of Garuda Puranam vary extensively so this is merely our findings. Bottom Line, mariI serious teeskokandi
