They can have darshan from 6.15 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday; children, aged people advised not to come
The Greater Chennai City Police has said devotees would not be allowed inside Sri Parthasarathy temple in Triplicane from Wednesday night to Thursday morning to witness the Vaikunta Ekadasi festival.
The annual festival in Parthasarathy temple is one of the major events in the city. Normally people across the city and other places used to gather and queue up in the night ahead of the festival.

In , the grape capital of India and host of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela every 12 years, environmental concerns over a plan to cut 1,800 trees for the proposed Sadhugram project in the historic Tapovan area have sharpened political fault lines ahead of local body elections. The issue has pitted both Sena factions against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which leads the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra. While Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief, and Uddhav Thackeray, chief of the Shiv Sena (UBT), remain political rivals, their parties have found rare common ground in Tapovan, where authorities propose clearing trees across 34 acres to build Sadhugram and a MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) hub, as part of a ₹300-crore infrastructure push linked to the pilgrimage.
