The schedule for the Adi Pooram Festival is listed in my previous posting at this link here. However Adi Pooram will not only be observed at Arunachaleswarar Temple but at all other Shakti Temples throughout Tiruvannamalai.
A favoured darshan for the final day puja, this year will occur on Wednesday 26 July, 2017 at 6 p.m. at the Temple of Sri Rajarajeshwari off the Girivalam Roadway.
