GEORGE TOWN: The gold and silver chariots for Thaipusam have both departed one after the other for the long procession across the city, a journey that is expected to take an entire day to reach their destinations.
WHILE the silver chariot retained the tradition of depending on two bulls to pull it across the city, the golden chariot was powered by a motorised vehicle this Thaipusam.
GEORGE TOWN: Devotees braved the morning drizzle on Monday (Jan 17) to witness the golden and silver chariots departing an hour apart for the Thaipusam festival in Penang.
