The entrance to the Batu Caves are thronged by crowds for Thaipusam
Amidst the vast crowds, some people hoist large floats atop their persons
The giant golden statue from afar
Crowds ascending and descending the insanely high stairs to the caves
One of the many people with hooks in their back straining against ropes held by a friend behind them
A statue inside the cave
Crowds gather inside the cave to worship
People would offer up little bags and be given different little bags in exchange
A giant stone altar inside the cave
Some people were burning the contents of their little bags
Crowds fill the giant cave
A vast crowd is gathered outside the caves waiting to enter
Most of the worshippers wore yellow and many carried jars of milk on their heads
A guy with hooks embedded in his flesh was hoised up onto the crowd
A peacock float in the throng
