The Magnificent Silver Chariot.


In conjuction with all the celebrations, the Indians/ Hindus has exhibited this magnificent Silver Chariot along Penang Street. Most of the Penangites will have no clue of its importance among the Indians community. This particular Silver Chariot will parade once every year during "Thaipusam" festival. This lighted display of the Silver Chariot has not been done all this while; this is the first time that it is displayed to all the Penangites and tourists. Indeed, it a rare occasion.

This Silver Chariot is owned by the Registered trustees of Nattukkottai Nagarathar Temples, Penang. It was shipped to Penang on the Jan 1894. It was made in Karalkudi, South India. It is also almost about two storey high. Very impressive huh!

The Celebration Harmony Walk


Well often we hear all sorts of people gathering around for a protest or so.... but here we see this Harmony walk by all the different races in Malaysia. We have the Malays, Chinese and Indians whereby we all visited Churches, Hindu Temples, Chinese Temples and Mosques; regardless of individual beliefs. Here we are at the Harmony walk to say thanks and prayers to the individual gods that we have been listed.
