my favourite photos The family participants

A close look at a family participating on this holy occasion. For

Hindus, Thaipusam, which falls on the full moon day in the Tamil

month of Thai, is a time of offering thanks to the deity Lord

Muragam, who is believe to represent virtue, youth and power. During

this 24 hours thousands of Indians all across Malaysia and Singapore

participate in this event in Temples.

I believe the name of the deity is Lord Murugan and not Lord Muragam as you have spelled it.
