Malaysia's Massive Hindu Festival

ONE OF THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY RELIGIOUS GATHERINGS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA, THE THAIPUSAM FESTIVAL HAPPENS EVERY YEAR IN JANUARY OR FEBRUARY AT THE BATU CAVES, A 30 MINUTE TRAIN RIDE FROM KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA.
OVER 1 MILLION HINDU FOLLOWERS, MOSTLY TAMIL, GATHER TO WORSHIP LORD MURUGUN, THE GOD OF WAR AND VICTORY, HIS STATUE IS THE HIGHEST ONE OF IT’S KIND IN MALAYSIA. MANY WORSHIPPERS WILL PIERCE THEIR BODIES WITH NEEDLES OR SPEARS AND SOME CARRY A KAVADI, A LARGE YOKE DECORATED WITH GOLD LEAF AND PEACOCK FEATHERS THAT’S ATTACHED TO THEIR BACK WITH HOOKS. THE PHYSICAL BURDEN IS CONSIDERED AN OFFERING TO THE GOD.
FOLLOWERS ARE SEEN CARRYING JUGS ON THEIR HEAD FULL OF MILK FOR LORD MURUGUN.
THE FINAL CLIMB UP THE 272 STEPS TO THE CAVE TEMPLES SEALS THE DEAL OF DEVOTION WITH PRAYERS IN A SPECTACULAR RELIGIOUS ATMOSPHERE.
EVEN OUTSIDE OF THE THAIPUSAM FESTIVAL VISITING THE BATU CAVES IS A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE ANYTIME OF YEAR. I’M JOHN SABOE AND THESE ARE MY FAR EAST TRAVELS.

In malaysia hindus are given extensive rights. There are hindu temples than mosques in malaysia. They also get citizenship. But sadly we muslim are presucuted mob lynched by hindus

[@atharvmahale23]

Malaysia is official muslim country. If u make india hindu state then there will be no violence or persecution. Because they will get more security as minority and etc

[@deepikagowdagowda857]

Ya. that's why India has 300000mosques in the world. Indian muslims right to talk against hindus in India .Indian muslims right to throw stones in hindu festival. . And in Kashmir they right to torture Kashmiri pandits . And right to kill hindus in India.but according to muslims. hindus are bad people's. Just think all this happened by hindus in muslim majority country please tell me the result.ok tell me about Pakistan, Afghanistan ,Bangladesh and other muslim countries how they treat non muslims
