KUALA LUMPUR – Hundreds of Hindu devotees and tourists have begun flocking to Sri Subramaniyar Swami temple in Batu Caves for the Thaipusam celebration.
Children with clean shaven heads can be seen carrying the “kavadi” and “pal kudam” (milk pot) before climbing 272 steps to fulfil their vows to avoid the Thaipusam crowd on Saturday.
K.Kavitha, 34, who was carrying the ‘pal kudam’ said it took her a longer time to reach the top as she had to use the high overhead bridge.
