KUALA LUMPUR: The Thaipusam celebration at the Sri Subramaniar temple in Batu Caves, which used to draw hundreds of thousands of devotees along with tourists, will once again be a subdued affair due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The colourful and vibrant celebration has been scaled down, for the second consecutive year, much to the disappointment of many.
