The Batu Caves complex is one of the most popular Hindu shrines outside India. It is the focal point for the festival in the country, attracting thousands of locals and tourists alike.

Wow didn't know Singapore restricting as well. Sad to see. When govt do that they try to wipe your heritage, culture and beliefs away. I witnessed it in SA. And that way they get u to convert and celebrate what they allow. Interesting. I always respected Singapore for their openness

@@hatin_the_thinker I believe there is not much "restrictions". You should view Channel News Asia coverage on Singapore's Thaipusam celebrations to see the facts for yourself.Just google Thaipusam celebrations Singapore.

@@jer2911.L come on, music is an integral part of Murugan worship and for Thaipusam. Without music it's soulless. For all its bad publicity Malaysia doesn't prohibit or interfere in Tamils culture. They are more tolerant and Respectful in this aspect. Plus it's a holiday in certain Malaysian states but Singapore replaced Thaipusam with vesak day. Talking about greener pasture. Singapore from brown has turned yellow and white. To add salt the govt is importing high caste fair skinned 'atas' north Indians with questionable qualifications to dilute Singaporean Tamil population. Soon like Rishi Sunak in UK these new imports wil take over .. wait and see. In malaysia the Banglas and Rohinyas have taken over the country. With such restrictions got the audacity to beg Unesco to declare it a heritage festival

Yeah right, I mean, Tamils also celebrate Sivaratri, Navaratri, Vaikunta Ēkādasi, Vinayagar Chaturti, Deepavali, Durga Puja , Saraswati Puja, Krishna Jayanthi, etc but they still are not Hindus. You don't make sense 😅
