always funny how the Western cultures find something and think that it's all new when it's been around for such a long long time...
Thaipusam
Hindu devotees express gratitude at their prayers being answered. They then fulfil their vows to Lord Muruga by carrying palkudam (milk pots) or kavadis (heavy metal frames hooked onto the body) in a procession to the temple. The devotees prepare themselves for this ritual by living a life of abstinence for a few weeks prior to Thaipusam.
