Where Art Meets Devotion: A Kavadi Artisan’s Story
When we think of Thaipusam, what comes to mind are the vibrant, colourful kavadis, carried with devotion through bustling streets, as devotees seek blessings, fulfill vows, or express their gratitude to Lord Murugan. These kavadis are more than just decorative structures, as they are symbols of devotion.
For the artisans who create them, kavadi-making is far more than a business, it is a deeply spiritual craft, rooted in passion, purity, self-discipline, and unwavering dedication.
Self-taught kavadi maker K. Pragalathen, 45, who has dedicated more than two decades to handcrafting intricate kavadis, echoed this sentiment.
