Hindu devotees pray when the Lord Muruga's chariot arrived during the Thaipusam Hindu festival (also called the Thaipooyam or Thaippooyam festival in Malaysia) on January 19, 2011 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 600,000 people are expected to attend the festival which begins by followers shaving their heads before embarking on a pilgrimage of devotion. Pilgrims engage in acts of devotion along the way, with mortification of the flesh by piercing themselves with vel skewers.
