Thaipusam Festivals In Malaysia

A Hindu devotee with his face pierced with a metal rod carries a 'kavadi' on his shoulders as 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.
