Thaipusam Festivals In Malaysia
A Hindu devotee carries a pot with milk on his head as he makes his way towards the Batu Caves temple to make offerings 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.
