Yep. thats why they are supposed to do. Hooks on the back to pull against the resistance on the other side. Looks pretty painful, but believe me, the kavadi bearer differs to think so. Hindus kinda torture themselves asking for the blessing, forgiveness and spiritual guidance of Lord Muruga which resulting from a special event or incidents in their lives. Good or Bad, they do such painful service to redeem themselves "with Hope" that the allmighty Lord will listen to their sacrifices.
