Jainism is an ancient religion that promotes ahimsa - non violence to any living thing.... Once every 12 years, followers of the Jain faith hold a festival to celebrate the life of their ancient teacher, Bahubali.

Ash - you can safely visit that link, you have to click play so it doesn't start straight away. You can also choose to mute the sound - or just click through the images :)

I'll watch it in a sec.

I'm sat in the I.T room alone, it's a big room, only partly lit, really eerie.
I love it!

Though it does have that "sneak up and kill you" vibe to it.
