Salam.. What are you all doing in this holiday? Seem pretty nice weather today.. I had a nice breakfast/lunch with curry mutton and nasi kandar.. Today just wanna wish Happy Thaipusam to Hindu followers around the world..
Thaipusam celebrated mostly by the Tamil community on the full moon in the Tamil month of Thai (January/February). It is celebrated not only in countries where the Tamil community constitutes a majority, but also in countries where Tamil communities are smaller, such as Mauritius, Singapore and Malaysia...
In the festival they will have a kavadi ( a dance perform by the devotees) during the ceremonial worship of Murugan, the Tamil God of War.. Last year I have seen this ritual around Kuching area.. They are dancing with burden on their body and also pierce themselves with spear in their tongue and cheek.. Having a goosebumps right now.. haha.. Orite.. Thats all from now.. Till then.. Enjoy the holiday.. Chao.. Salam...
Vel Kavadi perform by Fakir Musafar in California.
