Bumping into the Thaipusam procession

OK. This is what happened on Friday 19th...

I was driving to get to my bank at one end of Jalan Ipoh when I saw plenty of Indians walking, some on the middle of the street in colourful celebration customs.


Parking my car across I could clearly see it was a procession.

The following day is the Hindu celebration of Thaipusam and that day they were carrying their deities from one of the main temples near city centre to Batu Caves.


Well, I have been told before that they would pass this way. But it never crossed my mind I would accidently bump into it at the very time it would pass across my bank.




I was so excited with the colours that I actually recorded nearly 4 minutes of non-stop video, crossing the streets and weaving through traffic with the camera on. Have a look...
