SINGAPORE, Jan 7 (The Straits Times/ANN): Come Feb 5, the sound of music will fill the 3.2km stretch between Serangoon Road and Tank Road as Hindu devotees walk from Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple to Sri Thendayuthapani Temple in the Thaipusam foot procession.

The annual religious festival saw fewer participants in the last two years amid more muted celebrations as the authorities took steps to minimise the risk of Covid-19.
