Flag hoisting happened on July 21

Only once in a year #MeenakshiAmman will grace in Silver Parrot Vahanam 🙏🏻

Sculpture of three-breasted Thadathagai (Meenakshi as a young girl)...but this is not inside the #MeenakshiAmman #Temple premises.

This sculpture is present in the Iconic Pudumandapam opposite the eastern entrance of #Madurai #Meenakshi #Temple -built by Thirumalai Nayakkar

#Chithiraithiruvizha - Festival celebrated during the Tamil month of Chitirai- an annual celebration in #Madurai during the month of April/May. #Chithiraifestival is one of the longest celebrations.
Historically it was two separate events.

King Thirumalai Nayakar,merged both festivals as one single event to unite the people hence one grand event known famouly as #Chithiraifestival #Madurai
#MeenakshiAmman
