A spectacular sea of devotion


GOMBAK: A sea of saffron and yellow-clad devotees packed the roads in and around the Sri Subramaniar Swamy Temple in Batu Caves, thronging the hallowed grounds for Thaipusam.

Devotees bearing intricately- decorated kavadi, some towering up to 3m and adorned with peacock feathers, filled the paths to the temple as they ascended the 272 steps while others bore paal kudam (milk offerings).
