1st pic: The entrance to the local Siva Subramaniar temple.
2nd pic : A replica of the Batu Caves Murugan Statue at our temple.
3 rd pic : Devotees going around the temple
4th pic : The chariot procession at night.
( The celebration at the local temple although one of the grandest Hindu festivals in my town, is not as lavish as in Kuala Lumpur or other cities in the country).
The second set of pictures are those that were aired on TV - Thaipusam at Batu Caves, Kuala Lumpur.
The first 3 pics: the huge kavadis carried by worshippers.
The 4th pic: The massive crowd going up the steps during Thaipusam on Thursday.
My nephew ( who accompanied his friend who was a kavadi bearer ) started his way up 1.00 a.m. and came down at 6 a.m. early Thursday morning.
