A young Hindu devotee takes a shower before starting his
pilgrimage to the sacred Batu Caves temple during Thaipusam festival in Kuala
Lumpur on January 31, 2007. Thousands of Hindus, who comprise over eight percent
of the 26 million Malaysia's population, participate in the annual Hindu
thanksgiving festival, in which devotees subject themselves to painful rituals
in a demonstration of faith and penance, held in honour of Lord Subramaniam.
