GEORGE TOWN: The Thaipusam celebration has made a grand comeback here with thousands of devotees converging along the streets to pay homage to Lord Murugan, the Hindu God of Beauty and War.
As the two chariots slowly inched their way along the routes yesterday, tourists and shutterbugs were busy snapping pictures of the colourful processions and thousands of coconuts being smashed along the way, while the presence of policemen ensured everything went on smoothly.
