Synopsis
Maut ka Kuan or “Well of Death" is a popular sideshow attraction at many Vijayadashami festivals, also known as Dussehra, which take place in India during the Hindu month of Ashvin. It features daredevils on motorcycles using the power of centrifugal force to drive on the near-vertical walls of the barrel-shaped wooden cylinder. Spectators stand at the top of the cylinder and often offer money to the drivers, who will grab the offerings as they drive around.
