Articles 20VN | Thaipusam, Hindus and Hooks | kuala lumpur | <b>batu</b> <b>...</b>

Posted: 15 Apr 2009 12:00 AM PDT

One of the most unique and shocking festivals of the world takes place in Malaysia during the month of January. Kuala Lumpur hosts the largest gathering of people celebrating the Hindu Festival known as Thaipusam. This is a must see event for anyone that is visiting the country at that time of year.

Over a million people make a pilgrimage to the Batu Caves just outside of the city. For three days, worshipers pay tribute to the Lord by having spike's driven through their cheeks and tongues, inserting hooks into their flesh and carrying offerings up 272 steps to the Cave's massive chamber. Some people carry Kevadi's, giant cages made of steal. Decorated with vibrant ribbons and peacock feathers it takes four men to lift it onto the shoulders of the brave soul who dares to take on such a feat. Others have large hooks stuck into their backs attached to a chariot that they drag along, or have a person pulling on the reigns to add to the burden. The greater the pain, the better chance of having their prayers answered.

People take part in Thaipusam for different reasons. To give thanks for a miracle that has happened in their lives, to ask for a wish to be granted or to seek penance for past sins. Worshippers prepare for their ordeal by fasting, meditating and abstaining from worldly pleasures. It is an astonishing sight but amazing to see the dedication and concentration that it takes to survive this ordeal.

The festival begins in Chinatown in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Starting at the Sri Mahamariamman Temple, thousands of people begin their procession at midnight. The long snake of people would walk for 15 km behind the Silver Chariot carrying the idol of Lord Murugan before their arrival at the base of the Batu Caves.

It is a spectacular sight. A neon lit midway and Ferris wheel are set up at the base of the high cliffs. Vendors line the path of the procession as thousands of people make their way to the steps of the Batu Cave. The modern lights are a strange contrast to the ancient ceremony. Drums beat as people chant Vel Vel in the never ending chain of bodies.

The celebration continues through to the next day and worshipers are committed as ever, but the intense sun makes the task seem more impossible. Some succumb to the heat and collapse under the weight of their Kevadi. Others sway in a daze as friends try to soothe their pierced cheeks by pouring water over their heads. Miraculously however, very few people seem to be in pain or discomfort.

Once they make their way up the slow climb they find relief in the cool caves. Monkeys fight for bananas overhead, as people have their hooks removed one by one. Priests stuff hot ash into their wounds and not a drop of blood spills from the body.

In a roped off area, each person awakes from their trance. Some people faint, some people wail and scream, while others remain silent and still. Their ordeal is over and burdens are lifted. The cave is now quiet and calm, a contrast to the enormous energy and excitement of outside. It seems odd to watch people talking casually and laughing with each other after witnessing such a shocking event.

The festival has come to an end and the only thing left is the long procession back to Kuala Lumpur where the Silver Chariot will return to it's home until next years ceremony. People will resume their lives as bankers or students, fathers and sisters feeling cleansed of their sins, released of their burdens and grateful for the opportunity to thank their Lord for a wish that he has granted.
