The 2021 Karthigai Deepam Festival at Arunachala will be similar to that of the Deepam Festival of 2020, in that the Festival will have a limited number of devotees allowed into the Temple compound and Festival observances and processions will be low-keyed. Processions also will not take place around the perimeter of the Temple (i.e. Mada Vedhis) but instead smaller processions will occur around the prakarams inside the Temple Compound.
