FESTIVE vibes filled the air last Friday as three major festivals –the Tamil New Year, Vaisakhi and Songkran (Thai New Year) – were celebrated with much gaiety by their respective communities.

Several Hindu temples, including the Nattukotai Chettiar Temple at Jalan Waterfall in Penang, were buzzing with activity as devotees performed prayers before enjoying vegetarian meals with their families to mark the Tamil New Year.
