Hundreds of local people and devotees from nearby districts thronged the temple town to take part in the car festival, the highlight of week-long Thai Poosam celebrations, here on Thursday.
The town, which used to witness lakhs of devotees during Thai Poosam celebrations, had less turnout this year in view of some regulations imposed in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic.
The temple car, with the presiding deities of Valli Deivanai and Muthukumara Swami, was pulled majestically after performing special pujas and aradhanas. Devotees were permitted to draw the car around four car streets. The temple elephant, Kasturi, which was decorated, too took part in the procession.
