The author presents both the character and specific custom elements of this popular festival and discusses the advantages of caves as formation of inanimate nature available to tourism. Keywords : Malaysia, Batu Caves, religious tourism, Hindu pilgrimage, thaipusam, kavadi 1. Introduction Religion, as an important element of man’s spirituality constitutes one of the most important factors, generating migration processes of their inhabitants in many countries of the world ( Jackowski et al. 1999 : 1 ; Jackowski 2003 : 115 ). Searching and striving for communing with the sacred exerts strong impact on religious motives of journeys undertaken by man ( Jackowski et al. 1999 : 1 ). From the viewpoint of tourism development, journeys of this type may currently have a two-fold character, which results from reciprocal overlapping of clearly religious and cognitive motives ( Jackowski 2003 : 116 ). On the one hand, the purpose of tourists ( in this aspect a pilgrim ) is to reach the holy place from their own spiritual ( internal ) need ; on the other hand, the same holy places are visi- ted by tourists who are eager to get to know the new space, see the similar or completely different customs, spectacular ceremonies or observe the behaviour of other people ( e.g.

Indian Calendrical Calculations
Indian Calendrical Calculations Nachum Dershowitz Edward M. Reingold† Abstract We analyze various Indian calendars. We discuss the Indian day count, a generic solar calendar that generalizes various calendars including the mean Indian solar calendar, the true and astronomical Indian solar calendars, a generic lunisolar calendar that generalizes the Indian version, and the true and astronomical Indian lunisolar calendars. We also discuss aspects of the traditional Indian calculation of the time of sunrise and the determination of lunisolar holidays. The months of the Hindus are lunar, their years are solar; therefore their new year's day must in each solar year fall by so much earlier as the lunar year is shorter than the solar.. If this precession makes up one complete month, they act in the same way as the Jews, who make the year a leap year of thirteen months. , and in a similar way to the heathen Arabs. —Alberuni's India. 1 Introduction The world's many calendars are of three primary types: diurnal, solar, and lunar—see our Calendrical Calculations: Millennium Edition [5] (henceforth CCME). All three are represented among the many calendars of the Indian sub- continent. ¡ A diurnal calendar is a day count, either a simple count, like the Julian day number, or a complex, mixed-radix count, like the Mayan long count. The classical Indian day count (ahargana) is used for calendrical purposes. ¡ Solar calendars have a year length that corresponds to the solar year. All modern solar calendars add leap days at regular intervals to adjust the mean length of the calendar year to better approximate the true solar year.
