Thaipusam Festivals In Malaysia
A Malaysian Hindu devotee carries a pot with milk on her head as she makes her way towards the Batu Caves temple 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.
