  2. Hey Hemal, indeed this widely celebrated by the Tamils and is dedicated to Lord Muruga. In Malaysia, it is celebrated by every Indian community regardless of which clan they belong to as we are small in number. A not to miss affair in Penang :)

  4. Dguide, this was at Penang during the Thaipusam eve. That is when the Lord Murugan is taken to the Hilltop Temple in a Silver Chariot.
