Thaipusam Festivals In Malaysia
A Malaysian Hindu devotee is in a state of trance 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-kilometer journey of faith.
