About the first day of Thaipusam festival read here.
The second day of Thaipusam festival was an piercing day... Quite a few devotees had lot of temporary very heavy piercing all over a body. Some of them had hooks in their back and were caring another person or huge platforms with the Shiva. The more physical pain they experienced the more merit from the God they could expect.

Hindu festival in Malaysia - day one.
I planned to pass Malaysia on the way to Indonesia and I planned to pass through Georgetown. To my surprise I discovered that my Lao's friend Vik is also on his way to Georgetown. Apparently he was heading for Thaipusam, Hindu festival. I was happy to meet him again and to join this festival as well.
In Georgetown there is a huge Hindu minority. The festival started with a parade crawling around the city streets.
