Joining 1.5 Million Hindu Pilgrims at Thaipusam (Penang, Malaysia)

Filmed February 4th & 5th, 2023.
While in Georgetown, we learned that Penang’s Tamil community was celebrating one of the year’s biggest festivals, Thaipusam (தைப்பூசம்).
Join us for two days of praying to Lord Murugan in the form of shaved heads, kavadis, limes dangling from hooks punctured into the skin of men - and lots, and lots, of milk.

Oh, I love this episode. So informative. Was wondering about the hooks on th skin, though--how would they cope with the pain and blood flowing from the piercing? I want to see your head covered in sandalwood haha
