I just to many people watching and sometimes they just push you aside and ask you to make a move, give a way to person who carry a kawadi, its huge and might be heady, another reason is, this people who are participate might get hurts if you push each other and did not give a respact to what they do. This is the day for everyone to be patien.. not only for the participant or their family, you also have to be patien with the crowd. As me and Ellie walk in, we take a picture of people who carrying kawathi, and some are just walk in with some kind of scary face, and they have pears everywhere on their body expacially at the back side, and its scare me to watch this people with their differents look, and i was just amaze with this people who can carry a heavy kawathi and pears on their body, they are not bleeding, not a single drop of blood can be seen, and they dont feel the pain...

Along with kavadi bearier, there are a group of people will be with them to play a religious music, so whenever the devotee carrying a kavadi, they will dance alone followed with music they play... if normal people ever do that, they might be fall down for many times, but this people just stand still.

Each of devotee or a kavadi bearier, they will be companied by family member, they will be guide by this people, so sometimes they will stop and let the devotee have a seat and rest for a few mins, they will give a massage on their legs but the devotee cannot put down or pull off their kavadi while resting, they have to carry it the entire time until the ceremony is done.

Shaving your head is one of the sacrifies you can give to the lord murugam, hair is the only part of your life which you can give to him... Adult, kids or babies, they all do the same thing for one purpose...

Ok, As you seen a lots of picture i show in here, its all so amazing, but can you imagine, standing in the middle of crowed and your body will be pearcing everywhere and you have to walk up to the cave top with high of the stairs is 272 stairs. We as a visitor on that day, we can't do that.. even stuck in the middle of crowed its quite annoiying.. coz lots of people and they are pushing each other.... or maybe you can ask ellie of VT if you dont belived me..
