Thaipusam in Singapore 2015. SINGAPORE, February 3, 2015. Members of the Hare Krishna movement sing and dance during the Thaipusam procession in Singapore. The 3 kilometer long procession leads from Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple on Serangoon Road in Little India to Sri Thendayuthapani Temple on Tank Road. Thaipusam is a Hindu festival where devotees honour the birthday of Lord Murugan who is the youngest son of Shiva and Parvati, and is celebrated mostly by the Tamil community. During the procession male devotees carry a so-called Kavadi which is hooked through parts of their body such as the back and chest. Many devotees also have their cheeks and tongues pierced with skewers. The piercings symbolize answered and fulfilled prayers.
