Last updated on - Apr 20, 2017

About this Gallery

Well of Death, it takes place in various melas (fairs) held across the country. Apart from motorcycles, the act may also feature other vehicles such as automobiles, as performed. The show involves a temporary cylindrical structure built of hardwood planks. The audience stands upon the platform built around the circumference of the structure and gaze down into the well where the motorcyclists or cars drive. The performers earn their livelihood by performing daredevil stunts such as driving their bikes and cars on the walls of the 'Well of Death' attraction, which draws a large number of spectators. Let's have a look at survivors of the 'Well of Death'.
