Thai Pusam Kavadi
Enjoy these slightly belated images from Thai Pusam. These are kavadi that two of our monks prepared. Kavadi is a penance offered to Lord Karttikeya, especially during Tai Pusam, consisting of carrying in procession a heavy, beautifully decorated, wooden object from which pots of milk hang which are to be used for His abhisheka. The participant's tongue and other parts of the body are often pierced with small silver spears or hooks, though our monks did not observe this part. Vel Muruga!
