Thaipoosam Cavadee
One of the island's most striking Tamil festivals: after ten days of fasting, devotees carry the cavadee, a flower-decked wooden arch, to the kovil, their bodies pierced with fine needles. Processions set off from the rivers at first light. This is not a show: watch from a distance, no flash, and ask before photographing.
