Thaipusam Piercing Procession – Singapore
Similar to its Malaysian cousin, the Thaipusam festival in Singapore sees Hindu devotees pierce their bodies with hooks, rods, and skewers, often attaching these to ornate kavadi structures. It’s a physically demanding and visually intense act of devotion.
Devotees prepare for weeks, entering deep meditative states to endure the pain. Tourists often can’t look away—even if they want to. It’s extreme spiritual commitment on full display. Whether you interpret it as shocking, beautiful, or simply WTF, it leaves an undeniable impact.
