"Vel Vel Thaipusam 5" Top 5 Page for this destination Sungai Petani Things to Do Tip by AngMimi

Thousand of devotes and visitors gathered around the Sri Sithi Vinayagar Temple and Sri Subramania Swami Devasthanam temple for Thaipusam celebration, in the hot blazing sun. Im sweating like a pig with no umbrella or a hat.

On the way from Sri Sithi Vinayagar Temple to Sri Subramanie Swami Devasthanam temple, I sure like the carnival like air, with song praising Lord Muruga. Chanting of Vel-vel and beating of drums and hindu trumpet.

The street were lined with Thaneer panthal (refreshment stalls) free drinks and foods for devotees and visitors. Some take this opportunity to open business selling Indian muruku, cakes, punjabi dresses etc.

All paal kadam and kavadi bearer will end their spiritual journey at Sri Subramania Sawmi Devasthanam temple with blasting fireworks.. Aaah.. What a wonderful experience...
