The Hindu festival that is celebrated by carrying Kavadis is Thaipusam.

It is celebrated in the tenth Tamil month Thai (January/ February, Sanskrit - Pausha), on the full moon day. The word Pusam refers to a star, which on this day would be at its highest point.

It is celebrated to commemorate the day on which Murugan's mother Parvati gave him a Vel (spear) to vanquish the demon Soorapadam.
