Thaipusam is a very folkloric and colourful celebration and it has its own uniqueness and beauty.



Dearest friends

Thaipusam, is a festival celebrated mostly by the Tamil community on the full moon in the Tamil month of Thai (January/February).

The word Thaipusam is a combination of the name of the month, Thai, and the name of a star, Pusam.

This particular star is at its highest point during the festival.

According Indian mythology, the day marks the victory of the war Lord Murugan over the demons.

The festivities start early morning with devotees beginning their procession from the Temple by carrying milk pots as offerings or attaching " "kavadis" and spikes pierced on their body.

Thaipusam is a very folkloric and colourful celebration and it has its own uniqueness and beauty.

Wishing you a colourful day.
