Thaipusam 2014
Thaipusam is dedicated to the Hindu god Murugan, the son of
Shiva and Parvati. Murugan is also known as Kartikeya, Subramaniam, Sanmukha,
Shadanana, Skanda and Guha. It is believed that on this day, Goddess Parvati
presented a lance to Lord Murgan to vanquish the demon army of Tarakasura and
combat their evil deeds. Therefore, Thaipusam is a celebration of the victory
of good over evil. (http://hinduism.about.com/od/pongal/a/thaipusam.htm)
