The name \u201cThaipusam\u201d itself comes from the combination of Thai (mid-January &amp; mid-February) and Pusam (the brightest star during the full moon).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The festival celebrates Lord Murugan\u2019s victory over evil, emphasizing devotion, sacrifice, and gratitude.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Mythological Significance of Thaipusam<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mythologically, there are two legends behind the celebration of Thaipusam.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was the day when Murugan\u2019s mother, Shakti (Parvathi), gave him a powerful \u2018Vel\u2019 (spear).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Murugan used that very spear to attack and retaliate against an asura called \u2018Surapadman\u2019 after he attacked \u2018Devlokha\u2019 (World of Gods).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondly, the legend says that when a Lord Murugan devotee, named \u2018Idumban\u2019, was tasked with carrying two hills from the Himalayas to Southern India, he could no longer lift the hills while crossing Palani (a sacred hill in Tamil Nadu, India).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That was because of Murugan, disguised as a boy, blocking Iduman\u2019s path. After a battle, Idumban died but was later brought back to life by Murugan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once Idumban was back alive, he prayed to God and requested two wishes:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of Murugan\u2019s devotees, known as \u2018Idumban\u2019, prayed and wished for two things:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anyone visiting Palani (Sacred Murugan temple) with deep devotion and carrying a \u2018Kavadi\u2019 must be blessed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Idumban, himself, wanted to guard the temple\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And yes, Lord Murugan granted his wish, and that is why millions of people carry Kavadis.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When is Thaipusam Celebrated<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thaipusam falls on slightly different dates each year, as it follows the Tamil calendar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not just in Malaysia but worldwide, Thaipusam this year will be celebrated on\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><i>February 1st, 2026<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But since it is a multi-day festival, the upcoming festival is expected to be from\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><i>January 30th to February 1st<\/i><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Thaipusam festival in Malaysia will be taking place at the famous <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/Batu+Caves\/@3.2370242,101.6839365,17z\/data=!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x31cc470abb074f61:0xeb0824bcb779a1fb!2sSri+Subramaniar+Swamy+Temple!8m2!3d3.2370242!4d101.6839365!16s%2Fg%2F11bymt9mky!3m5!1s0x31cc470c8949a805:0xf2bfebb2b36f9ef9!8m2!3d3.2378844!4d101.6840385!16zL20vMHN5cDk!5m1!1e4?entry=ttu&amp;g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTIwOS4wIKXMDSoKLDEwMDc5MjA3MUgBUAM%3D\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Batu Caves<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Kuala Lumpur.
