Inside Sri Kapali Temple, in the north west corner, this Thursday morning temple staff sat down to prepare for the day’s celebration – Soora Samharan.
The key Skanda Sashti event and the drama that will be roll out on North Mada Street is at about 7 p.m.
The temple staff dusted and cleaned a host of solid and large masks of the demons and some of the gods; these had been painted recently and looked stark and bright, the exaggerated facial features teasing a smile from children. who were visiting the temple this morning.
The drama of the evening – it could rain – is for about 30 minutes and attracts a goodly crowd. Best place to watch – around Nithya Amirtham restaurant.
