TNP | Thaipusam: Every step a sacrifice http://bit.ly/1SD7upF
CARRYING KAVADIS
This ritual, meaning “sacrifice at every step”, is usually done in fulfilment of a vow that a devotee would have taken.

…
Finally, after 42 years, live music will be played at various points during Thaipusam, the colourful annual Hindu procession here. We walk you through the festival that promises to ignite vibes, colours and sounds.

VARIOUS TYPE OF KAVADIS
PAAL KAVADI
Usually a wooden arch carried by the devotee. It is an offering symbolising abundance and fertility.
SPIKE KAVADI
A semi-circular steel frame with bars for support on the shoulders. Spear-like spikes attached to the metal frame pierce the body of the kavadi bearer. It is normally decorated with flowers and peacock feathers.
CHARIOT KAVADI
A portable altar is placed on a wooden chariot decorated with flowers and peacock feathers. The chariot is attached with hooks to a devotee’s back and is pulled along.

AsiaOneLive music at this year’s Thaipusam http://ebx.sh/1SBk8VZ
…
DEVOTEES at this year’s Thaipusam on Jan 24 will finally feel that their long-awaited wishes have been granted. For the first time in over 40 years, live music will be allowed at the festival.
Thaipusam – an annual Hindu religious procession by mainly Tamils – is celebrated on the full moon day in the Tamil month of Thai.
It is a day for devotees to celebrate the fulfilment of their vows.
For many years devotees had requested for music to be played along the 4km foot procession from the Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple (SSPT) at Serangoon Road to the Sri Thendayuthapani Temple (STT) at Tank Road. It was banned due to fights and unruly behaviour in the past.
The rule was relaxed late last year after the Hindu Endowments Board (HEB) conducted 10 feedback sessions with 116 members of the Hindu community.
All said music was integral to the festival, with 65 per cent wanting traditional Indian instruments to be part of it. Some people also suggested that live music be allowed at strategic locations along the route.
So for the first time this year, live music will be played from three stages in Hastings Road, Short Street and Dhoby Ghaut Green.
At these points, temple musicians will play the thavil and nathaswaram while urumi melam musicians will also perform.
They have to pre-register with the temple.
There will also be an additional seven points along the route where kavadi sindhu (songs dedicated to Lord Murugan and the significance of kavadis) can be heard over the sound system.
These points will be outside SSPT, Baboo Lane, Cuff Road, Prinsep Street, Dhoby Ghaut Green, outside STT at Tank Road, and the head-shaving area just before STT.
