Description
Thousands of Malaysian Hindus celebrate the annual Thaipusam festival, gathering at the Batu Caves temple just outside Kuala Lumpur, with many displaying their devotion by piercing their bodies with hooks and skewers.
Thaipusam commemorates the day when the goddess Parvathi gave her son Lord Murugan a powerful lance to fight evil demons. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
