The word Thaipusam is a combination of the word “Thai” the name of the month, and “Pusam” the name of a star. It celebrates the occasion when Goddess Parvati gave Lord Murugan the Vel “divine spear” to vanquish the evil demon Soorapadman, who had conquered the heavens and took all devas (heavenly beings for whom Indra is the King) as his prisoners.
