Thaipusam | Little India, Singapore is full of faith, music, and brave men during Thaipusam 2019. The Singapore Tamil community gives thanks during the Thaipusam Festival. This is a Hindu festival celebrated on the full moon day in the Tamil month of “Thai”, and Tamils celebrate Lord Murugan. What a fantastic day to be in Singapore!
In this vlog, we witness one of the most important days for the Tamil community in Singapore: Thaipusam (or Thaipoosam). We visit Little India, see the preparations at Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple on Serangoon Road and follow the procession. We also see other attractions and things to do in Little India, such as Mustafa Center, and the House of Tan Teng Niah. This is the third video in this Singapor series. Watch since the beginning:
More about Thaipusam:
– Thaipusam (or Thaipoosam) is a festival celebrated by the Tamil and Malayali communities
– The word Thaipusam is a combination of the name of the month, Thai, and the name of a star, Pusam. This particular star is at its highest point during the festival.
– The festival commemorates the occasion when Parvati gave Murugan a Vel “spear” so he could defeat the evil demon Soorapadman.
– As surprising as it might sound, devotees don’t bleed while pierced. It’s believed it’s due to their faith

► WHO AM I?
Short answer: I am a Brazilian journalist living in the United States. After traveling the world working with sports, news, and events for over 15 years, I realized that what I really love is the travel part of it all. So I exchanged life in the newsrooms and stadiums for the daily challenge of being an independent content producer. I created this channel to share the beauties of the world… stuff that for so long I only kept to myself. Also to help people planning similar trips and to inspire more people to venture out and enjoy life!
Long answer: 😉
P.S.: The guy who occasionally appears in the vlogs is my husband, Gordon. He is Canadian-American and is extremely shy, that’s why he’s behind the camera most of the time 😉
