The big tank at Tiruvottiyur has not received any inflow
Copious rains this monsoon have filled up many temple tanks in the city, including those of Sri Kapaleeswarar Temple, Sri Parthasarathy Swamy Temple and Sri Vadapalani Andavar Temple.
A total of 2,359 tanks attached to 1,586 temples under the control of the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department in the State have reached their capacity, helping recharge groundwater in their surroundings. “The water, if retained for the next few months, will come in handy during the annual float festivals [theppothsavam] of the temples,” said a former official of the department.
However, the big tank at Tiruvottiyur Thyagarajaswamy temple, popularly known as Vadivudaiamman temple, has been not among those that got water this season.
