Thaipusam - Transcendence Through Mystical Piercings

Once a year, close to amillion worshipers and visitors will pass through this path and make the journey to Batu Caves, Malaysia to come face-to-face with the magnificent statue of Lord Murugan.
Witness one of the most interesting Hindu Festivals in world through the eyes of Dr. Carl Belle, a Hindu Chaplain from Australia and Guna, a local Malaysian Hindu, who both make the pilgrimage and transcend the ordinary along the way.
