This year Thaipusam 2012 is fall on 7th Feb 2012 (Tuesday). Thaipusam is a Hindu festival. It's a celebration mostly by Tamil community on the full moon in the Tamil month of Thai(Januaray/February).It is a sacred time which commemorates the occasion when the hindu Goddess Parvati gave her son,Lord Murugan There are few places in Malaysia, where this is celebrated. That's in Kuala Lumpur (Batu Caves), The Sri Subramaniar Temple in Gunong Cheroh, Perak and at the Nattukottai Chettiar Temple in Penang. Every year in Kuala Lumpur, on Thaipusam, as many as million devotees and other visitors may throng the caves.
The procession for devotees begins at Sri Mahamariaman Temple at Jaln Tun H.S. Lee in the city and ends at Batu Caves,lasting around eight hours. I would like to take this opportunity to wish those people celebrating this festival "Happy Thaipusam".
