| 説明 | Thaipusam is a Hindu festival celebrated mostly by the Tamil community on the full moon in the Tamil month of Thai (January/February).The festival commemorates the occasion when Parvati gave Murugan a vel (spear) so he could vanquish the evil demon Soorapadman.On the day of the festival, devotees will shave their heads and undertake a pilgrimage along a set route while engaging in various acts of devotion, notably carrying various types of kavadi (burdens). At its simplest this may entail carrying a pot of milk, but mortification of the flesh by piercing the skin, tongue or cheeks with vel skewers is also common. The greater the pain the more god-earned merit.I took a day of work and went to shoot in Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple. There was constant music playing with trance-inducing rythems, hypnotizing horns and incense smoke. I also shot 3 rolls of film which I will post once I get these developed. One interesting note was the large amount of expat wives who were present to also photograph this event. I am still puzzled by this. |
