Singapore

Singapore accommodates a wide range of international competitions, sports events and religious festivals (Muslim, Buddhist, Taoist and Hindu). 

• Chinese New Year: It is the most important holiday for the population of Chinese origin, so the main celebrations take place in Chinatown. This date coincides with the start of the first lunar month, which may occur between January 21 and February 21, approximately.
• Thaipusam Hindu festival celebrated by the Tamil community of Singapore. It is an annual procession held in the heart of Little India. Devotees travel the distance between Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple on Serangoon Road and Sri Thendayuthapani Temple on Tank Road. Many carry metal structures supported on the body without any protection as a way to show their devotion. It is a visual spectacle but it may not be liked by everyone because of that explicit demonstration of devotion.
• Pongal Another traditional Tamil festival that is celebrated in the middle of the month. In its Hindu origin the festival celebrated the good harvest. In Singapore, it also commemorates the beginning of the tenth Tamil month. The celebration lasts four days and the one that passes through Little India during the period will be able to witness traditional rituals. Campbell Lane, next to Serangoon Road, is transformed into a kind of traditional village.
