THAIPUSAM
IN PENANG
8 & 9th February 2017
This
year I had my chance to joined and witness the silver chariot procession in the
early day on the eve of the celebration. Along the procession route, the
devotees are armed with gifts including milk pots and coconuts which are
eventually smashed as offerings to fulfill sacred vows.
In the late, I joined my friend HueiGau, one of the great men who displayed his fervour by carrying large contraptions known as Kavadi, to fulfill his vow dedicated to Lord Murugan. May him and all the devotees get blessed for their faith, endurance and penance.
In fact, Thaipusam is one of the major religious festival in our
country, and it was a beautiful yet spiritual celebration we should not miss
out.
And Yes! One of the best place to witness this annual celebration, definitely will be in my lovely hometown, Penang!
