What Is Thaipusam? | NANDINI SAYS
Thaipusam 2020 is tomorrow!
Which means it's that time of the year when questions like these pop up:
- Why Indians cucuk their bodies lah? Not pain meh? 😱
- It's the Indian new year ah?
- What is that pot people carry?
Don't worry, I've got all the answers! 😄
Happy Thaipusam!

One of my favorite religious celebrations in Malaysia. Kavadi Aattam performed by Hindu devotees ( not Indian) is the highlight of Thaipusam, It's an amazing ritual for one to bear witness. Blessing! 👏👏
Nandini's hair be looking like ice cream traffic light. Also, this is a great video for everyone. I don't even know why devotees do all these things. Thank you!
Aku stay kat Batu Caves, kecik² mak pernah bawak kitorg adik beradik pergi tengok pesta Thaipusam kat Batu Caves tu, jalan kaki je dari rumah, tengok diorg cucuk² badan depan mata wehh, pengalaman yang tak boleh dilupakan, lepastu kawan² India mak belanja manisan² and makanan India, best gilaa, rindu zaman tu. Sekarang musim thaipusam semua dok rumah sebab tak boleh keluar, jammed kiri kanan tak sanggup nak redah. hahaha

Thaipusam 2020 in Penang was so amazing! Every race celebrated it and enjoyed the festive season as well!
Murugan was the founder of agriculture,according to some tamil ealders .

Question by one of our Malay friend : Why most of them wear yellow attire during thaipusam? Answer: Yellow is auspicious and also people used to soak white clothes in turmeric before wearing it to festivals like this. It acts as antibacterial agent. And if you notice your Hindu neighbors, they will hang up a string of mango leaves with turmeric and kumkum powder mixed with water and shaped like a dot. Serves similar function. Even when we want to do pongal celebration Infront our house , we will wash the area with water mixed with turmeric.
Thank you for this information. I only know thaipusam about people cucuk2 their badan, face and mouth.
Dear Nanthini,we proud of u really...as a women,u have the braveness,and the most significant is you live ur life in ur own way...moreover,evethough u lipstick and colored ur hair in different way...its shows ur braveness and the way of ur beautifull life...somemore,its proud to be an indian and also a malaysian since watching ur braveness...good...keep it up nandhini...
Well another reason why the are piercings is because of bravery. The deed is called alagu kutruthal. Alagu rhymes with the word azhagu which means beauty. Tamils are warriors and they shouldnt be afraid of pain. So the beauty of a warrior is to bear the pain happily and without fear. So the piercing of alagu happens in order to prepare a warrior so that he's not afraid of pain.

@@hhheidi1121 Take a look at all the Thaipussam media available. Almost always every picture and video comes from Malaysia or Singapore, Never India itself. I don't live in either India or Malaysia, but I have had hundreds of acquaintances from India. Punjabi (Hindu ones) Gujuratis, Bengali, and Telugus from India most of them have never even heard of Thaipussam. I've been to India as well, the concept doesn't really exist and is pretty much only known to a limited portion of Tamil Nadu. "Muruga" isn't really worshipped widely outside of ethnic Tamils so that also contributes.

Elisa Hanim , (no disrespects meant ), if you ask any hindus , what hinduism is , and , is there a beginning and an end to it ; I think 99 per cent won 't be able to give a plausible answer and the 1 per cent who do , would just take you to the far reaches of the cosmos and , when back would have excused themselves and made themseles scarce . To my own limited knowledge , the devotees (followers) know that the painted statues isn 't god , but are attributes of the divine we experience in Nature . They know that there is only one Divine force and what you see in temples are the myriad expressions of the divine and its mystery , moulded by human thought through thousands of years of their culture , traditions , philosophies and way of life , of the peoples of these ancient lands . These are descendents of a people of a very monumental ancient civilization which has contributed much by way of language , science and mathematics . And as such one can 't call hinduism a religion , but a way of the traditions of the old. There is no singular authority or any singular book ( there are thousands of ancient manuscripts and books ) . So , one can conclude ,it is not a organized believe system like the abrahamic religions of the west like islam , christianity and judaism . And so they express the joy of Creation and Mother Nature itself in colour and pomp , and honour life itself through myriad festivals and celebrations .........my story wiil go on until this space runs out . Anyway , I hope you get a small glimpse through my limited lens Elisa Hanim . Keep well and joyful . TQ

I am from Hyderabad, and I don’t know thaipusam. Is it only celebrated by Tamilians? Maybe because there are more Tamilians in Singapore and Malaysia, they celebrate Thaipoosam? But nice video, love the energy and colors
The facts is thaiipusam is not Indian festival it's Tamil festival.
