Thaipusam-Batu Cave
On 01 Feb, I have been to Bt. Cave for the Thaipusam. I dun really know much about his festival but what I know is that Thaipusam is all about" A test of Faith" and it is an annual Hindu Festival which celebrated by Tamil in Malaysia. It was an extraordinary event,devotees carried the kavadi, the kavadi is heavy and it was actually attached to the flesh...kinda squeamish....... Some carried a pot of milk... some have their heads shaved, piercing skin....It seems strange to me because I was told that the devotees feel no pain, bleed little and left no scars.... how this was possible????But some think that the white ash smeared on the body ,may help to numb the skin, but still it was unbelieveable ! The Hindu people are intense about their religion, and take some extraordianry measures to display their devotion.
