When the moon is full on the tenth month of the Hindu calendar, the Tamil celebrate Thaipusam, a major Hindu festival in honor of Lord Murugan. In 2013, the Thaipusam will fall on January 27. Devotees come together for a procession, carrying signs of their devotion and gratitude.
Lord Murugan is the son of the god Shiva and his wife Parvati, and was sent to help defeat the demon Soorapadam using a “vel”, which is a spear or a lance. Thaipusam is a holiday of thanksgiving and celebrates the victory of good versus evil.
To the Hindus, Lord Murugan represents youth, power and virtue. He is also revered as a “granter of favors”. In these celebrations, his devotees not only show their thanks, but also come to offer prayers and ask for blessings.
Kung naka-shoot mo ani nga celebration mga Bro, pundokon lang nato diri. Anywhere around the world ni ha not only in Singapore.
