A huge crowd in hundreds of Hindu devotees and tourists have begun flocking to Sri Subramaniyar Swami temple in Batu Caves for the Thaipusam celebration which will be celebrated tomorrow.
Children and Hindu adults with clean shaven heads can be seen carrying the "kavadi" and female devotees seen carrying "pal kudam" (milk pot) before climbing 272 steps to fulfil their vows to avoid the Thaipusam crowd on Saturday.
The presence of police personnel were also at hand to maintain security.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak will visit Batu Caves this evening to show his personal concern for the Indian community. The last visit was done by his late father, the second premier, Tun Abdul Razak sometime in 1970's.
