Thaipusam
A festival of devotion, carried on shoulders and in faith.
Thaipusam is a Hindu festival celebrated mainly by the Tamil community on the full moon day of the Tamil month of Thai, honouring Lord Murugan, the god of war and victory. It commemorates the moment Murugan received the Vel, a divine spear, from his mother Parvati to defeat evil. Mark the day with our Quotes collection.
