IPOH: Over 400,000 Hindu devotees and foreign tourists are expected to throng the Sri Subramaniar Temple in Gunung Cheroh here to celebrate Thaipusam this year.

Its chairman M. Vivekanda said the public would surely take the opportunity to enliven the celebration at the temple, which is over 100 years old, and perform religious rituals, including fulfilling their respective vows, as there are no travel restrictions due to Covid-19 like before.
