Every year the impressive Thaipusam Festival celebrations take place inside the Batu caves near Malaysia's capital Kuala Lumpur.
A million devotees and visitors gather from all over Asia for a frenetic event that sees extreme body piercings with needles, hooks and spears, and a procession where devotees in trance carry along a kavadi or physical burden as an offer to their god.
What is the Thaipusam Festival?
Thaipusam is a Hindu event dedicated to the Hindu god Lord Murugan, the youngest son of Lord Shiva and conqueror of evil. He's the god of war and victory and often depicted as a man with multiple faces, riding a blue peacock. Celebrated mainly by Tamils, anyone who seeks favour from Lord Murugan has to participate in the festival and do penance for past sins.
What to expect during Thaipusam Festival 2023?
Devotees pierce various body parts with needles and spears, especially through the cheeks and tongue. The skin on the back is pierced with hooks to which limes are attached that pull on the hooks when the person in question whirls around in a trance.
On the main day, a kavadi is carried to the temple and offered to Lord Murugan. Kavadis are large, decorated yokes that are usually carried or pulled along with hooks attached to the worshippers' backs.
When a devotee decides to carry a kavadi, it is usually decorated with coloured paper, gold leaf, flowers, peacock feathers and an image of Lord Murugan. A pot of milk is attached to either end to offer to the god. His followers then pray to receive his mercy and wipe out their sins.
Women carry a silver jug of milk on their head while some of them also have their cheeks and tongue pierced.
It's customary for devotees to pray and fast during the weeks leading up to the event. They follow a strictly vegetarian diet while some of them sleep for months on the hard floor of their home to prepare for the big day.
