Kavadi bearer with foreign entourage draws curious stares

TEACHER Nicholas Fletcher, 40, drew many curious glances during his kavadi procession, as he had behind him a group of foreigners dressed in traditional Indian garb.

Fletcher, who teaches at an international school in Penang, had the support of about 10 fellow collea-gues who turned up early to accompany him throughout his procession from Lorong Kulit to the Arulmigu Balathandayuthapani Hilltop Temple on Jalan Air Terjun.
