Thai Pusam

For the womenfolk, the festival is a time to work hard, making a variety of dishes using new rice and sugarcane, and making sweets so that a feast is ready in time for the two day pilgrimage to Lord Muruga's temple.

Thai Pusam can also be called a festival of thanksgiving after the sugarcane crop is harvested. Farmers dress in their beautiful new clothes and throng the temples of Lord Murugan, expressing thanks for a bountiful harvest and asking for prosperity in future.
