Thaipusam Festivals In Malaysia

A Malaysian Hindu devotee reacts in a state of trance with his back pierced with hooks before he makes his way towards the Batu Caves temple to make offerings during the Thaipusam festival in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on February 11, 2025. Thaipusam is a Hindu festival celebrated mostly by the Tamil community. Devotees pray and make vows, and when the prayers are answered, they fulfill the vows by piercing parts of their body such as their cheeks, tongues, and backs before carrying a 'Kavadi' or milk pots on a four-kilometer journey of faith.
