The revered grounds of prominent temples dedicated to Thaipusam festivities, such as the Sri Subramaniar Temple Batu Caves, the Thanneermalai Temple in Penang, and the Kallumalai Temple in Ipoh, witnessed a vibrant influx of worshippers over the past weekend. The enthusiastic gathering reflects the prevailing sense of anticipation and fervor in the atmosphere as devoted individuals make ready for the forthcoming Thaipusam celebration.
