Thaipusam (Malaysia)
In Malaysia, Thaipusam is an annual Hindu festival celebrated with a colourful procession and compelling rituals, mainly taking place in Batu Caves. Celebrated by the country's Tamil Indian community, the Hindu devotees prepare themselves by piercing hooks and skewers through their bodies to showcase devotion to the deity Lord Murugan. This also makes Thaipusam one of the best times to visit Batu Caves.
