These days, believers ask God for help in healing, Help for relatives, for forgiveness and promised to bring him a sacrifice – kavadi (from milk jugs to large metal structures, which dig into the body of a pilgrim).

Leaving the evening of Georgetown, after a long day in the city, podaёma of Penang Hill and celebrating Taypusama Penang, we went to the bus to Kuala Lumpur.
