Hindu devotees show devotion and penance by carrying heavy, elaborately decorated kavadi altars pierce through skin, commonly the tongue or cheeks in extreme practice. It looks intense but draws crowds and passion.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"faqsu-faq-single\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"faqsu-faq-question\" itemprop=\"name\">Should I purchase tickets in advance for events like New Year\u2019s concerts or cultural performances?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"faqsu-faq-answare\" itemprop=\"text\">Absolutely, get your tickets ahead of time, especially for any events in Kuala Lumpur which often sell out. For smaller community celebrations like temple festivals, you can usually just show up. Hotels can often assist with booking too.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"faqsu-faq-single\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"faqsu-faq-question\" itemprop=\"name\">What do people wear to attend festivals in Malaysia?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"faqsu-faq-answare\" itemprop=\"text\">Light, breathable, and modest clothing is key for Malaysia\u2019s tropical climate while respecting predominately Islamic culture. Cover knees and shoulders, shawls or scarves are good extras. Malaysians do love dressing up during celebrations, especially in traditional cultural garb.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"faqsu-faq-single\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"faqsu-faq-question\" itemprop=\"name\">What kinds of food can I expect to find at Malaysia\u2019s fetes?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"faqsu-faq-answare\" itemprop=\"text\">Oh yes, indulge because Malaysia's multi-ethnic groups and festivals means all kinds of delectable specialties.
