was celebrated yesterday in southern India, Singapore, Malaysia and Mauritius, a festival in honor of Lord Muruga's.
has received on this day the youngest son of Shiva and Parvati, Muruga by his mother, a lance (Vel) hands to defeat the demons.
As with most Indian festivals also celebrate the victory of good over evil. Ban that day to pray Muruga, so he frees one from enemies and adversaries.
The whole festival starts already early morning (3 am), it's with deafening loud music (bhajans in honor Murugas) and in the course of the day processions are held with great drumming. Some of the pilgrims can be in a trance small lance or hooks through their cheeks Pearce at the back.
all very impressive and wildly and somehow here in India but also completely normal!
