Thaipusam is a significant Hindu festival celebrated by the Tamil community in Malaysia and around the world. It is observed on the full moon day of the Tamil month of Thai, which falls in late January or early February. This year, Thaipusam will be celebrated on 11th February 2025.

What is Thaipusam?

Thaipusam marks the day when Goddess Parvati gave Lord Murugan a divine spear (Vel) to defeat the demon Soorapadman. Devotees show their faith, seek blessings, and give thanks through various rituals.

How People Celebrate

One of the most well-known Thaipusam celebrations happens at Batu Caves in Malaysia. Devotees participate in different ways:

• Carrying Kavadis – Some carry decorated structures as an act of devotion.
• Offering Milk – Many devotees bring pots of milk as a prayer offering.
• Body Piercing – Some show their faith by piercing their skin, cheeks, or tongue with spears.
• Prayers and Chants – The celebration is filled with prayers, music, and chants as people walk to the temple.

Thaipusam is not just a religious event but also a time when the community comes together to celebrate faith and tradition.
