Thaipusam Festival

This is a day of penance and thanksgiving by Hindu devotees held in honour of Lord Subramaniam. The festival is best experienced in Kuala Lumpur where the deity's jewelled chariot is led in a mass procession through the streets of the city, culminating at Batu Caves in Selangor.

An unforgettable sight is the thousands of devotees in a trance-like state carrying body-piercing kavadis or ornate frames.
