Lion Dance

Lion dance is related closely with the chinese new year celebrations. The dance is believed to usher good fortune, as well as ward off evil spirits.

It is a traditional dance in Chinese culture, in which performers mimic a lion's movements in a lion costume. Usually this lion costume is handled by two performers.


Lion Dance is performed and accompanied by the music of beating of drums, cymbals and gongs instruments synchronise to the lion dance movements and actions.

happy thaipusam day

Thaipusam (Tamil: தைப்பூசம்) is a Hindu festival celebrated mostly by the Tamil community on the full moon in the Tamil month of Thai (Jan/Feb). It is also referred to as Thaipooyam or Thaippooyam in the Malayalam language. Pusam refers to a star that is at its highest point during the festival. The festival commemorates both the birthday of Lord Murugan (also Subramaniam), the youngest son of Shiva and Parvati, and the occasion when Parvati gave Murugan a vel (spear) so he could vanquish the evil demon Soorapadman.
