Happy Thaipusam!

Thaipusam is a largely popular celebration in Malaysia as it is celebrated in various township on a large scale. This year I headed out as early as 7am.
The crowd was picking up fast and the Kavadi's were making a bee line heading up. There were rules imposed on the do and don'ts of carrying the kavadi, which may have contributed in a dip in the exaggerating ones that normally makes the front page.
Timing was right as the main highlight prayer was taking place.
I always wanted to walk with the chariot after hearing loads of stories about it from daddy. Looking forward to participating in it in the coming years.
A new attraction was seen near the Hanuman temple.
The popular stalls were all ready to greet potential shoppers.
This is something we could do away with. With rules being imposed on kavadis, they should also consider scrutinizing on having the right stalls.
This year's popular item could easily be this T-shirt inspired by a popular Tamil movie.
