- I was lucky! I got to go to the Batu Caves at the SAME TIME as THAIPUSOM!
Thaipusam is a vibrant Hindu festival celebrated in various parts of the world, including Kuala Lumpur and Batu Caves in Malaysia. Devotees gather to express their deep devotion to the Hindu god Murugan through colorful processions and by carrying kavadis. The celebration is particularly prominent in Kuala Lumpur and Batu Caves, attracting attention not only for its religious significance but also for the visually stunning displays and cultural richness.
As you explore the sacred steps leading to the Batu Caves, be sure to stay cautious of the resident monkeys. These cheeky creatures, while fascinating, can be quite assertive. Exercise care while walking up the steps to avoid any unexpected encounters with them. Despite their mischievous behavior, the Thaipusam celebrations in Kuala Lumpur and Batu Caves offer a unique and enchanting experience, blending religious devotion, cultural heritage, and a touch of wildlife in this remarkable setting. Join us as we navigate through the steps of Thaipusam, celebrating the spirit of devotion while keeping an eye out for the lively inhabitants of Batu Caves.

I'm malay I don't celebrate Thaipusam but i just want to say happy Thaipusam for India Tamil and also happy holidays proud to being Malaysia A multi-ethnic coutry with
Thaipusam is a "Hindu celebration among the Tamils across the globe to commemorate the victory of Lord Muruga over a demon using a divine spear." It's not the name of the place. She meant well but couldn't explain better possibly due to language barrier. Singapore, Sri Lanka, India are among some of the other countries which celebrate Thaipusam.
Thank you for visiting Malaysia, and thanks for promoting our country to the world. I hope you enjoy your time here.
The priest chanted mantras for your wellbeing & your wife's. The fruit has been blessed ritually. The pot contains cow's milk which is offered to Lord Muruga for making their vows. Shaving heads is also an offering made for their wellbeing/for fulfilling their vows 😊
I'm Malaysian malay, this is interesting & adding knowledge.. I watched till end 👍
Thaipoosam - You can see a weapon on Lord Murugan hand in statue. It"s called VEL. the day Murugar got VEL was celebrated as Thaipoosam. He got that VEL from his mother(Parvathi) to win war against Asuras(Demon). In INDIA / TAMIL NADU we celebrate this festival every year because Murugar is god of Tamil. ( Tamil is one of the oldest living language in the world )
Welcome to multicultural Malaysia🎉🎉🎉❤❤
I visited Malaysia in December 2023. What a beautiful country with many cultures and it's respected among the people. Beautiful place. I visited Batu caves and it's an amazing feeling. And people across religions and races visit and partake. Big up to Malaysia on how they respect and welcome all. In my mind I rate it as the best place in the world and a large part of that is becos of its people. Il be back every year hopefully.
Thaippusam is a Tamil festival which is celebrating for Tamil God Murugan's Birthday❤
Tq for visiting our tradition mate it's celebrated by Tamil peoples I hope u know that tamil is one of the oldest surviving language in the world
Even though I am Malaysian, the Thaipusam make me feel like in India country, I don't know how the tamil indian in India celebrate Thaipusam, but Malaysia Indian definitely bring the culture back to here
You are very respectful 👍🏻 and shout out to locals who explained well to you :)
Dude great video! Wish I would've gone with you! Looked amazing!
Great job bro.❤ You are one of the only few(really few among thousands of YTers) who did the Thaipusam full coverage and ritual participation. Many would shy away or shun away.
nice video bro, the festival looks interesting 😃
Watching from Tamil Nadu India
Brother first of all thank you visiting Malaysia and promoting our nation. Secondly thank you for visiting Batu Caves during Thaipusam and my sincere appreciation for you for showing respect to our tradition by removing your shoes when entering into all the temple. I would say that you were so lucky to witness the deity Lord Murugan so near at the main temple in the cave. You were so blessed too to witness the arrival of the Silver Chariot that travelled more than 19 hours into Batu Caves. Upon the arrival of the chariot, a huge flag with a rooster symbol on it will be raised at the tall flag pole near to the entrance marking the official beginning of the religious festival. I remember you were asking about the number of steps and the height of the Lord Murugan statue right? Here's the answer. The staircase has 272 steps and the statue is 42.7 meters tall.
Im a Singaporean havent been to Batu caves for years alots of changes, Thank so much for sharing the video Brad. You may google. You have a blessed day take care
I am a malay. We dont celebrate it but as Malaysian we will still respect and find our way to understand other religion from our friend with different ethnicity. But surely Thaipusam always bring back memories when my children still little.
Great sharing. It's interesting as well. I enjoyed watching it and loved it. Thanks. 👍👍👍😍😍😍
