Went to the Thaipusam event yesterday for some photo shoots. Never witnessed any Thaipusam celebration previously even after staying in Penang for more than 10 years. Went with SY after she voluntarily 'dared' to fetch me there with her bike. Didn't want to be stuck in the jam, I accepted her 'dare', blek.
Most of the major roads were blocked and some cars can be seen parked up a pavement or by the road side. We went in some roads in a housing estate to get to the temple. Reached there around 10am and went back around 11am, hahaha. Nothing much to shoot at, as they already carried and placed the chariot at the temple during midnight -.-
Shared some shots which I managed to shoot.
Just the sight of it is scary enough =x
The stairs up to the temple full of people. SY and I were deciding if we should be climbing up as well. But in the end we decided to pass the idea. We only went a few steps up and stood at the side of the stairs. Took some shots from there.
The baby sleeping so soundly undisturbed by all the sound and noise around him.
A Chinese guy joining in the celebration as well.
The view down from where I stood. More and more people.
We were on our way back when we saw a few people carrying the 'kavita'. I think it's called 'kavita', my apology if I am wrong on this. SY stop her bike at the road side a few meters in front of them and I took out my camera. Waited for them to pass by and took some shots.
Gotta respect them, not anyone can just carry the 'kavita' and walked barefoot all the way to the temple.
My colleague told me that I should go at night, more things to see and snap. But I am not sure if I plan to go again next time, guess we'll just see then xD
