Thaipusam Festivals In Malaysia
A Malaysian Hindu devotee, pierced with hooks in his back, makes his way towards the Batu Caves Temple to make offerings during the Thaipusam festival in 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.
