NEARLY 10,000 devotees witnessed the highly anticipated celestial wedding of goddess Meenakshi and lord Sundareswarar, as part of the ongoing Chithirai festival, at the Arulmigu Meenakshi Sundareswarar temple in Madurai on Sunday.
While those with passes had gathered at the Thirukalyana Mandabam, thousands of others who were around the temple, watched the live telecast of rituals.
The Chithirai festival was kickstarted on April 12. In line with the temple tradition, the Thirukalyanam was conducted on a stage set up at the junction of North West Aadi street within the temple premises.
The rituals started at 4 am, with the Odhuvamurthigal singing 'Thirumurai'. Procession deities of Lord Pavala Kanivai Perumal and Lord Subramaniya Swamy (lord Murugan) from the Thiruparangundram temple arrived by 6 am.
