Thaipusam

Yeah!!! Thaipusam is a great day to Hindu, i went to Batu Cave just a few days past.
Batu Cave is the biggest Hindu temple in Malaysia. Many people, Malays, Chinese, Japanese, Western people to takes an oppurtunity to visit Batu Cave during Thaipusam.It's crowded like thousand of ants stuck in it's living place make it a bottleneck.

It's miracle, everybody is just stick with each others and trying to go up to Batu Cave as fast as they can, all of them was full of spirit.

At that moment, there is warm and hot because there is no place for you breathing with everyone is stick togeter, it just like a river in dark that was flowing in quick if you are view from aeroplane.


At first, the devotee need to clean up themself before they start to carry the Kavadis where the god is be.


There have many groups of Hindu carry thier Kavadis up to Batu Cave, having thier leader in each group with smoke the cigarette...



This fellow is used to repay as what they have done in a year past to god bless from god.


In each group have people carrying different responsibity... Here is the Hindu devotee that carry the Kavadis which is weighting about 60kg that is almost the weight of a guy, this is amazing and is accompany by the girls who carry milk pots up the 272 steps of the caves to fulfil their vows.





They walk and dance all the way up the caves without having thier shoes...


This is the view inside the caves.













This is how the Hindus pray in the caves, this is how they make used of the coconut and banana and oranges.

It is a good experience to see the Hindu culture and how grand of Batu Cave on Thaipusam. When the time to back, you can try some nuts from Hindu~~ they have plenty choices of nut and most of them is taste nice...
