Thaipusam Festivals In Malaysia
Hindu devotees carry kavadi on their shoulders as they make their way towards the Batu Caves temple during the Thaipusam festival outside Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on February 1, 2026. 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-kilometre journey of faith.
