Thaipusam

Before story, let have some intro about Thaipusam Festival 1st. “Once a year they celebrate the Thaipusam festival in the Batu Caves. It’s a celebration for the son of Shiva (Subramaniam) and the becoming “one” of Pusan and the Brihaspati stars. Every year, on Thaipusam, as many as 800,000 devotees and other visitors may throng the caves. As a form of penance or sacrifice, many of them carry kavadis (literally, “burden,” such as a pitcher or jug). These are large, brightly decorated frameworks, usually combined with various metal hooks and skewers which are used to pierce the skin, cheeks and tongue. By doing this penance they expect some favours from their Gods. The festival is held in the tenth month of the Hindu calendar (mostly the end of January).” i grab this from Malaysiasite keke…

After gather, we fella head to Batu Cave to explore how Indian celebrate Thaipusam festival, of course we have photo shooting on it la! We reach our destination not more than 1/2 hour, with full of unexpected & surprise. As we though there will be terrible traffic jam around Kepong area, but not. After paying RM10 for car park( bloody expensive!), then we can saw lot of police walking around. Of course, a lot of indian attend to Thaipusam festival too! I never saw so much indians gather together, black head around! I noticed a lot visitor around, and a lot photographer around too!

Dam pack over Batu Caves entrances there, and quite challenge to grab a great angle. Besides, this is my 1st time visit Batu Caves. I not know well about indians culture, what to do and not to do, am proud that can participle such a huge festival with them! At same time, i picture lot camera machine and also study how these fella photo shooting. And, a lot police over there. Also, i noticed got cun reporter from rtm πŸ˜‰

After few hour, we decide to climb up the stair. I still remember quite dirty from the stair up to temple, because people throw rubbish over here. Crowded made me feel uncomfortable, and also those unknown smell, even i cant recognize what the heck is that. Especially when we enter the cave, i almost vomit blood and fall down. If you dont understand what i try to deliver, maybe u can try visit Batu Caves on coming Thaipusam Festival. It just dirty, until i not able to stay there!
