Teppa Thiruvilah

22 Feb 2008

Sri SinggaMukha Kaliamman

The festival was held in Teluk Bahang, Penang.

The special element of this particular Thiruvilah is that the Kali Amman will be taken around the gulf using a water chariot.

This Festival is the only festival in Malaysia where such a disticntive practice is seen.

The Water Chariot

The Kali Amman Temple

The Goddess is being taken out of the temple

On Her way to the Teluk Bahang shores

Om Shakti!

Goddess Kali Amman will begin her journey....

Devotees light their lamps and let it float away into the South China Sea.

The Chariot slowly leaves the shore....

Welcome back!!!!!! :)

The Chariot was pulled up because of the Tsunami Alert ..the waves were getting very 'excited' hehe....nothing happened though

Om Sakti!
