THAIPUSAM
Go there and contact
Don't miss the mesmerizing procession of the Hindu spiritual festival celebrating the birth of the God of War.
For two days, Hindu devotees honor Murugan, god of war and virtue, during Thaipusam. In the evening, a colorful procession accompanies the god's statue from the temple of Sri Thendayuthapani to that of Layan Sithi Vinayagar. Along the way, they sing and pray to accompany the god. In a state of trance, some express their faults or gratitude by imposing spectacular mortifications on themselves: cheeks and tongues pierced with needles, backs and torsos pierced with hooks from which hang limes, symbols of purity.
