Thaipusam / Batu Caves / Malaysia (2019)

Did a short video for the celebration of the Thaipusam 2019 at Batu Caves.
.
On the Thaipusam day, a pilgrimage is taken by the devotees by shaving their heads and engaging in various acts of devotion, notably carrying different types of kavadi or a pot of milk called pal kodam.
Also, the mortification of flesh by piercing the skin, tongue or cheeks with vel skewers is common.
Thaipusam involves physical and mental discipline as the devotees purify the body through rigid fasting with simple vegetarian meals and observe celibacy.
Thaipusam is celebrated faithfully with the pilgrimage that gives devotees great powers of endurance to fulfil their vows.
