Devotees who wish to fulfil their vows at the Thaipusam 2026 festival can make their bookings online from 9.15am on Dec 10 through the official festival website.
On Feb 1, Hindu devotees are set to walk in procession from Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple in Serangoon Road to Sri Thendayuthapani Temple in Tank Road.
They often carry milk pots, also known as paal kudams, and kavadis – decorated wood and metal arches - during the procession, as offerings to the Hindu deity Murugan.
In a statement on Dec 8, the Hindu Endowments Board (HEB) said online registration is compulsory for those who wish to carry paal kudams or kavadis.
The festival is a significant event for Tamil Hindus around the world.
