Thaipusam

A truly spectacular event, Thaipusam is an annual Hindu festival where devotees perform various rituals and carry ‘kavadis’ or ornate frames as acts of devotion and penance. The main venue is the world-renowned Batu Caves temple, set within a limestone cave. A massive crowd made up of locals and foreigners will make Thaipusam an extraordinary spectacle. Celebrations are also held in other states such as Penang and Johor.
