The guy to your left was featured on episode 2 of 'An Idiot Abroad', Karl Pilkington's Wonders of the World travelogue of sorts now showing on Sky 1.
That's not a deformed arm he appears to be making some kind of freedom fighter gesture with. I expect it was perfectly normally when he decided to hold it aloft, and KEEP IT THERE FOR TWELVE YEARS!!! TWELVE!!!
I'm sure my arm would begin to look a bit withered and frail too if the blood had failed to circulate around it properly for so long.
What's the point???
Oh yes, nearly forgot. When Karl asked the translator, "Can you explain the reason why he's decided to do this?", he replied on Deranged Loon's behalf, "He has chosen this as a part of his way of communicating, and his way of reaching to the god".
Never has the old metaphor of religion as mental illness been more apt.
I'm sure Ganesha, Shiva, Vishnu - or whoever floats this guy's boat - will be delighted with his achievements.
On reflection, it's not exactly the Sistine Chapel though is it?

I think India, assuming it is India, has a large number of such kooks because in India a normal person is a nobody. So a sudden whacko religious ecstasy could be a way to get recognition or money.
This guy has really worked at this and he needs clippers.
