COLOURFUL thaneer panthals (refreshment stalls) can be seen along Jalan Utama, Jalan Kebun Bunga and Jalan Air Terjun here.
Preparations for the annual Thaipusam celebration are in full swing.
Some volunteers were busy setting up the stalls while others were seen performing prayers before assembling the structures.
A check by Buletin Mutiara found that several devotees had decided to pay their vows ahead of the Thaipusam celebration.
The three-day grand occasion is expected to draw thousands of visitors and devotees. Some 160 thaneer panthals are expected to be operating during the festive event.
It was reported that a bigger Golden Chariot would be making its maiden journey from the Arulmigu Sri Maha Mariamman Temple in Queen Street on the eve of Thaipusam, to the Waterfall Hilltop Murugan Temple.
The chariot is scheduled to return on Sunday (Feb 9) at 6pm.
