A number of young boys have made the pilgrimage to Palani and are participating in a procession around the Palani Murugan Temple and are fully participating in the Thaipusam festival to honor Lord Subramaniam (also known as Lord Murga), the son of Shiva. Even though they are young, they, like thousands of Hindus have come to seek penance and absolution for past sins and show gratitude to God for blessings during the year.
