Lonely Planet Traveller magazine photographer Mark Read visited the Draupadi Amman Temple on the island of Mauritius, to witness Theemithi (Thimithi) or 'firewalking', a Hindu ritual in which the devotee promises to walk on fire as an act of self-purification in exchange for a wish or blessing granted by the Goddess Draupadi.
