KINILENS | After two previous Thaipusams with strict adherence to Covid-19 standard operating procedures, celebrations this year are finally back to normal, with Hindu devotees carrying kavadis during the celebration.

Thaipusam is the second-largest Hindu festival in Malaysia and is celebrated in honour of Lord Subramaniam, also known as Lord Murugan. Over a million Hindus gather every year at various temples across Malaysia to celebrate.
