Kuala Lumpur, inside the Batu Caves at Thaipusam
Thaipusam "Thaipoosam" (Tamil: தைப்பூசம், Taippūcam ?) is a Hindu festival celebrated mostly by the Tamil community on the full moon in the Tamil month of Thai (January/February). It is mainly observed in countries where there is a significant presence of Tamil community such as India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia,[1] Mauritius[2] Singapore,Guadalupe, Reunion, Indonesia, Thailand and Myanmar[3]

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 vanquish the evil demon Soorapadman. There is a misconception among people that Thaipusam marks Murugan's birthday; however, it is believed that Vaikhasi Vishakam, which falls in the Vaikhasi month (May/June), is Murugan's birthday.

From Wikipedia

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thaipusam (Tamil: தைப்பூசம் oder Thai Poosam Kavady) ist ein besonders von Tamilen am Vollmond des tamilischen Monats Thai (Januar/Februar) gefeiertes Hindu-Fest. Pusam bezieht sich auf einen Stern, der während des Festes seine höchste Position erreicht hat. Das Fest gedenkt einerseits des Geburtstags von Gott Murugan (auch Subramaniam oder Skanda genannt), dem jüngsten Sohn von Shiva und Parvati, sowie der Übergabe einer vel (Lanze) von Parvati an Murugan, damit er den Dämonen (Rakshasa) Soorapadman besiegen könne. Das Fest wird nicht nur im Süden von Indien ausgelassen gefeiert, sondern ebenso in Malaysia und Singapur
