Thaispusam Festival was held on 7 February 2012 in Singapore. This festival is celebrated by Hindu devotees. Very interesting festival involves lots of preparations and hard work for the devotees. Please check out the pictures and videos of men carrying a 'Kavadi' - an intricate structure of wood, steel spikes and colourful decorations - which can weigh up to 10kg. The men carry the kavadi from one temple in Serangoon Road to another temple in Tank Road.
