Thaipusam, an annual Hindu festival celebrated with great fervor and devotion, is a sight to behold. The air is filled with spirituality as pilgrims embark on a journey of faith, climbing the 272 steps leading to the Batu Caves temple in Kuala Lumpur. With each step, devotees pay homage to Lord Murugan, a Hindu deity whose majestic statue stands tall at the entrance. During Thaipusam, devotees express their gratitude and seek blessings by offering prayers and throwing offerings into the holy fire. The flames dance gracefully as these sacred items are consumed by its warmth, and is believed that this act symbolizes purification and liberation from worldly desires. In Singapore's Sri Mariamman Temple, another grand spectacle unfolds as the Thaipusam Festival Chariot takes center stage in front of the main gateway. Elaborately decorated and adorned with colorful flowers, it carries Lord Murugan through the streets amidst chants and cheers from devotees. Vel Kavadi is another significant ritual observed during Thaipusam in Singapore. Participants carry ornate structures called kavadis on their shoulders or pierce their bodies with hooks and skewers as acts of penance and sacrifice for divine blessings. One captivating image captures a pierced devotee laden with fruit at Batu Caves during Thaipusam festival in Kuala Lumpur.
