Kuala Lumpur: Hindus devotees thronged Batu Caves in a colourful fusion of faith, thanksgiving, and hope to mark the Thai Pusam festival yesterday. An estimated one million devotees jostled with visitors, including awestruck foreign tourists, to pay homage to Lord Muruga on their way to the cave temple from as early as Saturday night. More than 4,500 devotees carried a variety of kavadis up the 272 steps to the shrine at the caves, regarded as the premier Hindu pilgrimage site in Malaysia.
