This year's Thaipusam for me was at the Sri Subramaniar Swamy Temple at Batu Caves. Observed in the Tamil month of Thai, Thaipusam is one of the most important festivals dedicated to Lord Muruga. It is believed that Goddess Parvati presented the ‘vel’ (lance) to Lord Murga on the Thaipusam day to defeat the demons. Thus, Thaipusam too celebrates the victory of good over evil but better known as a customary observance for many to fulfill their vows.
