THOUSANDS of devotees took part in colourful and vibrant processions during the Thaipusam celebration in Ipoh.

Carrying kavadis of various colours, shapes and sizes, many of these devotees walked about 10km from Jelapang to Buntong and to the Sri Subramaniar Temple in Gunung Cheroh on a bright Sunday morning.
