I attended the Thaipusam festival held on 17th January 2014 in the morning. It is a festival that is celebrated among the Hindus community here. It is an interesting, colorful and sometimes noisy event; whereby I saw many devotees carrying kavadi or in simpler form – just a pot of milk over their head.

Thaipusam is a public holiday in many states in Malaysia and hopefully Singapore will make it a public holiday as well; so that more people can join in and enjoy this colorful festival Here are some photos –
