Thousands take part in Thaipusam festival

The annual Thaipusam festival got under way at the stroke of midnight Tuesday with devotees taking part by carrying kavadis and milk pots as a form of thanksgiving to Lord Murugan, the principal deity of Thaipusam.

By the end of Tuesday, some 8,000 devotees would have carried the milk pots and another 600, the heavier kavadis.

They do so along a four-and-a-half kilometre route from the Sri Srinivasa Perumal temple at Serangoon Road to the Sri Thendayuthapani Temple at Tank Road.
