Thaipusam: Silver Chariot arrives at Nattukotai Chettiar Temple in Penang under strict SOP


GEORGE TOWN: The Silver Chariot has reached the Nattukotai Chettiar Temple at 6am on Wednesday (Jan 27) after it left the Kovil Veedu on Penang Street at 3.30am.
According to sources, an 11th hour decision was made possible due to the intervention of Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan.
However, there was no procession but the chariot was accompanied by about 10 people.
Nattukotai Chettiar Temple trustee Dr. A. Narayanan said a last-minute appeal to Saravanan made it possible.
“We thank him and may God bless him,” said Dr Narayanan.
The chariot journey continues an unbroken 164-year tradition, having gone through world wars, the Japanese occupation, the communist insurgency, and now, the Covid-19 pandemic.
