An atmosphere of Lord Kallazhagar entering the Vaigai created in Alagarkoil
With a view to creating an atmosphere of Lord Kallazhagar entering the Vaigai, the staff of Lord Sundararaja Perumal Temple in Alagarkoil have erected a huge flex board depicting Albert Victor bridge and its environs, where Azhagar usually enters into the river as part of the annual Chithirai festival. Lord Kallazhagar enters into the river, the highlight of the annual Chithirai festival in Madurai, in all grandeur and festivity associated with it for centuries. Lakhs of devotees participate in the event to witness the event near the AV bridge.More Related News
