Thaipusam festival in honour of Lord Muruga(also called Lord Subrahmanya) is a day of purification & penance. On this day- which falls on the star Pusam day in the month of January/february-the Thai Month as per Tamil calendar starts around 13th/14th of Jan and Pusam is the star of the day in the Thai month in Lunar Calendar-devotees make offerings of thanks to the Lord Muruga.

The festival is celebrated in gaiety, more popular in Malaysia and Singapore as the tradition originates in the southern India and associated mostly with tamil culture and tradition. Here you find a few photos of Lord Muruga on Nagara Sandarsanam taken during this year in Raffles Place near Republic Plaza Singapore.
Its a commendable point to note that the India based Banks- Indian Bank and UCO Bank, located in Bharat Building, Raffles place have a customary practice of distributing sweets/snacks to the devotees who visit the Raffles Place during this time to see the Lord Subramanya on 'Therotsavam'!
