    I remember that Singapore has very orderly roads for such public processions without causing any traffic jams besides the public safety is taken care of. The barricades are useful.

    I actually to watch the Kavadi bearers which come in many creative and innovative designs here but the huge crowd and traffic jams made me think twice. Anyways, I had seen them many times during my growing up years. The festive celebration is always so lively with abundance of colours and merry music!

      I am afraid of jam too, lucky here, no jam, only that the traffic is slower due to a lane closure...

    It is not a PH is East Malaysia as well. But we did see some happenings in Indian temples on Sunday.

    I never see a real thing but I always freak out when I see all those pricks all over the man's body.
