Bearing the weight of cameras and heavy equipments, photographers from all around the world brave through the crowd, weather and fatigue, in hopes of being a shutter click away from a resplendent photo that will eternalise the happenings at Thaipusam. Year after year, we see more photographers travel from near and far to get a glimpse of the vibrant Thaipusam festival. We decided to put together 20 of our favourite images of Thaipusam 2019 in Malaysia captured by photographers from Malaysia and around the world!
