Thaipusam (Final)

2008-01-31T12:27:29Z

These are the Final part of my Thaipusam series, I hope everybody enjoy it, I tried my best to find a great angle to captured the event, But Batu Caves was crowded and I need to fight my way through the crowd and get a perfect spot for my shot….. There are many professional photographers and I trying to learn from them how to struggle throughout the crowd…haha It was my first time for doing such photo shot and I really enjoy it =) The festival itself overflowed with multicolored so I decided to stick with the main colors [Sorry b/w fans ;-)] Here are some info from Wikipedia about Thaipusam Devotees prepare for the celebration by cleansing themselves through prayer and fasting. On the day of the festival, devotees will shave their heads undertake a pilgrimage along a set route while engaging in various acts of devotion, notably carrying various types of kavadi (burdens). At its simplest this may entail carrying a pot of milk, but mortification of the flesh by piercing the skin, tongue or cheeks with vel skewers is also common. The most spectacular practice is the vel kavadi, essentially a portable altar up to two meters tall, decorated with peacock feathers and attached to the devotee through 108 vels pierced into the skin on the chest and back. Fire walking and flagellation may also be practiced. It is claimed that devotees are able to enter a trance, feel no pain, do not bleed from their wounds and have no scars left behind. However, some of the more extreme masochistic practices have been criticized as dangerous and contrary to the spirit and intention of Hinduism. Thaipusam Part (1) Thaipusam Part (2)

Well I know my previous Thaipusam post make people feel anxious for the baby because he was so sad getting his hair shave off. I hope this post will make everyone cheer up!! I met this guy Ray and two of his friends, Ray is somewhat upset at first because he going to say bye to his beloved long hair that he had been saving for the past 12 years, But I think he is satisfied with the result eventually =) Thaipusam Part (1)

Hi everyone, is been a while =) Thanks for the comments for my previous post, Days have been speeding up for me these days, I am sorry for not able to reply all of you but I read and value all the comments been given, I will try to catch up with everyone in photoblog soon!! I seldom take portrait shots, I decided to snap portrait shots during the Thaipusam festival, Thaipusam is a Hindu festival celebrated mostly by the Tamil community on the full moon in the Tamil month of Thai (Jan/Feb). These were taken on 23 January 2008 at Batu Caves, Malaysia. During Thaipusam devotees shave their heads bald as a symbol of humility and atonement, I manage to snap the progress while the father of the baby decided to let one of the barbers shave off the baby's hair.
