Deepam Festival Panthakal


The following photographs were recently taken in front of the Arunachaleswarar Temple Rajagopuram. The Panthakal ceremony occurs three months before Deepam (this year the first night of the lighting of the flame on top of Arunachala is December 1st). The ceremony included blessing the newly renovated Vigneshwarar Chariot which will be used during the Deepam festivities.
