Happy Thaipusam

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008 | 2:21 pm @ SK

Thaipusam is a Hindu festival celebrated mostly by the Tamil community on the full moon in the Tamil month of Thai (Jan/Feb).

The festival commemorates both the birthday of Lord Murugan (also Subramaniam) and the occasion when Parvati gave Murugan a vel (lance) so he could vanquish the evil demon Soorapadman.

Here’s wishing all Malaysians Happy Thaipusam!
