Malaysia, located in the heart of Southeast Asia, is a multi-racial land of rich culture and traditions. Malays, Indians, Chinese and other indigenous tribes constitute the Malaysian culture and the festivals of all these religions are celebrated in the country with equal enthusiasm and reverance.
Merdeka Festival, or the Malaysian Independence Day, is celebrated on 31st August in all parts of Malaysia. The Hindu Festival of Thaipusam is one of the foremost festivals of Malaysia when devotees inflict punishments on themselves in penance and atonement for their sins. Hari Raya Pausa is another major Malaysian festival that is celebrated by the Muslims on sighting of the new moon at the end of the holy month of Ramadan. Wesak Festival commemorates the birth, enlightenment and salvation of Lord Buddha and is celebrated not only by the Buddhists but also by all people across Malaysia. On this day, Malaysians pray in temples, release doves and distribute food among the needy. Chinese New Year Celebrations take place in Malaysia for 15 days in January or February and there is a carnival like atmosphere in the whole country during this period. Malaysians adopt an open-door policy during their festivals where not only the locals of other communities but also tourists are invited to participate in the celebrations.
