Thaipusam is a Hindu festival celebrated by the Tamil community, mainly in countries like India, Malaysia, Singapore, and Sri Lanka. It usually falls in January or February. Devotees observe fasts and perform various acts of devotion, culminating in a procession to temples, often carrying kavadis (burdens) as acts of penance and gratitude to the deity Murugan. The festival is marked by colorful processions, chants, and piercing rituals, where some devotees undergo acts of self-mortification like piercing their bodies with hooks and skewers. These acts symbolize the conquest of good over evil. Thaipusam is a significant and visually striking festival that draws large crowds of both devotees and spectators.
