I hope you have enjoyed this series on the
first day of the Celebration of Thaispusam in Penang ...
For me, it was an unforgettable 2.5 hours Journey ...
I think it was may be around 500 meters from the temple where the procession
begins until this point ...

08:20 am

Seeing the devotees pushing the chariot from the back
is the last scene of the procession for me as I had
to head back to class as my lecture starts at 09:00 am ...
