GEORGE TOWN: This year, more than one million people are expected to gather at the three-day Thaipusam celebration, as many will come from near and far to fulfil their vows.

Penang Hindu Endowment Board (PHEB) chairman RSN Rayer said this would be the "Unity Thaipusam" year, where both chariots come together to draw in the crowd.
