Thaipusam is one of the biggest Hindu celebrations in Malaysia, perhaps second only to Deepavali. On Thaipusam day, it is not uncommon to find over a million devotees and thousands of curious onlookers participating in the festivals held in temples across the country. It is reported that celebration of Thaipusam in Malaysia began in 1892, led by the Tamils who migrated to Malaya at that time.
According to Hinduism, the story of Thaipusam began from the evil deeds of the rakshasha Soorapadman who terrorized and tormented all the good souls in the universe. Thaipusam is the festival to commemorate the event where Parvathi, the consort of the major Hindu deity Lord Siva, presents the newly-born Lord Murugan with a golden spear which was eventually used to vanquish the evil Soorapadman.
