Thaipusam Walk 2025
February 8, 2025 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm PST
Welcome to the Thaipusam Walk 2025Â organized by the Concord Shiva Murugan Temple.
Thaipusam is a festival dedicated to Lord Murugan who is believed to possess the invincible spear (Vel). On Thaipusam day, Goddess Parvathi gave Lord Murugan the Vel and he used it to destroy the army of demons. This festival signifies the victory of good over evil.
The Concord Shiva Murugan Temple is organizing a walk to the temple along two popular Bay Area trails to celebrate Thaipusam. The first is a longer 21 miles walk route starting from Bishop Ranch 3, San Ramon, CA. The second is a shorter 7 miles walk route starting from Heather Farms Park, Walnut Creek, CA.
