@brasco,

ok...here u go
we got there early n the traffic was already bad
the chariot arrives
in the morning haze...errr.....smoke more likely
the stalls by jln ipoh are filled with peddlers
hawking their stuff and offering FOC drinks
the chariot stops awhile and the devotees gather
a slight detour as the chariot cud not get pass the jln ipoh pedestrian overpass brings us to the ceremonial breaking of coconuts by the roadside
this is done with gusto...trust me....dem nuts are hard to break
music courtesy of the accompanying travellin musicians...hardly MTV stuff
this lucky bloke doesn't hafta walk.....
silver horses lead the chariot where he hitchikes on
and here are the devotees and their offerings
one of the many temples along jln ipoh
wat it looks like inside
well...thats it...hope u fellas enjoyed the pictorial
will see if i haf time to go batu caves after work to shoot some more

hmmmm....sounds interesting....let me think about it some.
Posted by shithappens
here u go guys....the whole thing was indeed an eye opener for me....never seen *or been* anywhere with that pack a crowd....like friggin sardines
Throng of celebrators
This is kinda how batu caves looks at nite *from the river's edge*
It starts with a shave, both young n old qualify
The sinead o'connor look rulez
Look Pa!! No hair!!
Space is a luxury so devotees make their prayers/offerings anywhere they can....on the ground that is
Once shaved, its off to the showers....mind you the pipes are fed from h20 drawn from the nearby river...i honestly wudn't touch that with a 10 m pole...but then again i'm faithless
let's scrub that bald patch more
devotees come in all shape, size n age.....so does the kavadi
some opt for a lighter 'burden'
others like this fella is more extreme...he's into body piercing
his pal seems to dig this stuff as well
A normal sized headgear....
a larger peacock feathered one....
or u cud try this heavy duty one instead....its all up to you
All in it was tough shootin considering the crowd and the fear of gettin pushed off the river bank, damaging your equipment, toes stomped on etc
hope u enjoy the 1st person perspective...i highly recommend the trip at least once to those that hafn't attended before.....
