The largest Arunachala girivalam crowds are experienced at the time of Karthigai Mahadeepam. However after that—the second most attended girivalam is held to be that performed at the time of Chithirai Pournami.
This year Tiruvannamalai District is set to witness up to 2 million devotees for the occasion of Chithirai Pournami. The three photographs posted below are of the early build-up of devotees here to observe this significant occasion.
