The silver Rishaba Vahanam is regarded as one of the more important processions over the Karthigai Deepam Festival. It generally occurs on the fifth night of the Festival, and as you can see from the huge crowds thronging the streets outside the Arunachaleswarar Temple, is very popular and is always well attended.
