That I am not sure about. it is a pretty big deal and ritual. It is a spiritual journey, so I don't think that just anyone can do it. But I may be wrong.

They are Hindu. Thaipusam is a large Hindu Festival that happens in Kuala Lumpur and Penang Malaysia. It is an amazing and spiritual event that I highly recommend seeing.Watching them have spikes and hooks inserted into their skin, made me a believer in their faith.
