Several hundred devotees gathered at Sri Madhava Perumal Temple, Mylapore this morning (April 26) to participate in the thiruther festivities held as part of the ongoing Chitirai Thiruvonam festival.
The ther, pulled mostly by women and children and a few seniors, stopped occasionally to accept offerings from the devotees. Small pieces of jaggery were distributed as prasadam.
Devotees singing hymns and nadaswaram and tavil artistes accompanied the deities Sridevi Nachiyar, Sri Madhava Perumal and Sri Bhoodevi Nachiyar around the temple.
The festival is on till April 29.
A common mistake made in India (I used to make this too) is the usage “today morning”. The correct usage is “this morning”.
Point taken. We will unlearn.
