quoting some information from http://sam11.moe.gov.sg/racialharmony/PrimarySchool/articles_thaipusam.html and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaipusam :
Thaipusam is a Hindu festival celebrated in January or February annually. Thaipusam is actually derived from "thai" which means "10th", and "pusam" meaning "when the moon is at its brightest". It is thus celebrated when the moon is full in the Tamil month of Thai (between January and February). Dedicated to Lord Subramaniam (the youngest son of Shiva and Parvati, also known as Lord Murugan) the deity of youth, power and virtue, and the universal granter of wishes, this festival is a time for devotees to ask for a future favor, fulfill a vow in return for a granted favor, or to repent for past sins.
In Singapore, this Hindu festival starts at the Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple at Serangoon Road. The kavadi carriers, together with their relatives, friends and well-wishers congregate here in the morning to participate in the procession which will take them through Serangoon Road, Orchard Road and finally to the Sri Thendayuthapani Temple, commonly known as the Murugan Temple at Tank Road or Chettiar's Temple. All along the way, devotees chant hymns in praise of the deity. The kavadi carriers' arrival at the Murugan Temple at Tank Road marks the accomplishment of their task. A mixture of fruits and honey is prepared and distributed among the devotees.
