Arunachala Karthigai 2020 Information

 

Information has been released that girivalam of Arunachala on the day of Karthigai (Sunday, November 29, 2020) will be banned because of the ongoing Pandemic. 

There will be no processions of the Gods around the Mada Vedhis (perimeter streets) on any of the Festival days. The observation of MahaDeepam inside the Temple (both in the early morning and evening) will be observed but will be open only to special invitees, VIPs, Donors and those connected with the Temple. The lighting of the MahaDeepam on top of Arunachala will occur but only participants and special invitees will be allowed to the summit of the Holy Hill.

It is expected that Bharani and Karthigai Deepam will be live streamed from the Temple on Sunday, November 29, 2020. We hope to provide links in order that you may access Live Stream programmes.

Will update on this blog when new information is provided. Currently devotees are allowed inside the Temple Grounds, it is not yet known what regulations will be set in place regarding visiting Arunachaleswarar Temple during the 10 day Festival. At this time there is a stall outside the Raja Gopuram, East Gate, of the Temple which is the Donation Centre for Deepam Ghee.
