Hello Everyone,
Actually I didn't realize this year's Thaipusam is on the 5th Febuary until I saw this thread. But last year, I was on a bus, driving through Little India and witnessed the "walking" ceremony and it's really cool. I'm planning to take pictures at Thaipusam this year. But I do have a few questions regarding about taking pictures from the ceremony... 1. Do I need a permit? 2. Am I allowed to use a flash? 3. Am I allowed to take pictures (using the flash) of the participants dancing, jumping, walking etc... ? 4. Are women allowed to be there during the entire ceremony? 5. Any sort of taboo during Thaipusam? Many thanks to those who can share their experiences! Regards, -Michelle-  |

2) yes... 3) yes..except u may need to take off ur shoes if u wanna go inside the halls during some of the prayer rituals... 4) think so.. 5) eh dun try to interfere with wat they are doing and u're generally ok take a look at my gallery from last yr's thaipusam ....u can see that one can shoot almost anything provided u're sensitive to wat they are doing and keep out of the way  |
