Thanks for sharing. Anyone gg down?
Saturday morning also right?
The timetable is a bit messy...
Hmmm, never been one.....any suggestion where is a good position to start?
Hi guys. I'm an indian and been to countless thaipusam festivals. I'd like to share abit of info with you guys. Firstly, thaipusam falls on a sunday this year which means the route btw the two temples is gonna be flooded with the indian foreign workers so be careful to avoid the little india area as much as possible. I suggest you guys shd head to the Srinivasa Perumal temple(where the procession starts) which is along serangoon road pretty close to Mustafa Centre. Go there as early as possible. By 8am or so. Here you can get pics of the piercings, kavadi carriers dancing etc but note that the place will be very crowded. Once you head out of the temple they will all just be walking to the other temple in Tank road.
It will be a big challenge for you to get into the Tank road temple to witness the end of the procession but you shd not have trouble getting into the big tents which will be set up outside the Tank road temple for the devotees to remove the piercings and the kavadis.
Hope you guys have a good experience!
thanks for the info. is it fine for us to take photos with flash of everything or is there anything taboo for us?

I think slippers or sandals will be good.
You can put inside plastic bag and keep in your bag before entering the temple.
