The word Thai-pusam is derived from the month name Thai and Pusam, which refers to a star that is at its highest point during the festival. The festival commemorates both the birthday of Murugan (also Subramaniam), the youngest son of god Shiva and his wife Parvati, and the occasion when Parvati gave Murugan a vel (spear) so he could vanquish the evil demon Soorapadman.<br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaipusam">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaipusam</a><br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kavadi">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kavadi</a>&nbsp;
