Thai Pongal Ther in the temple
Thai Pongal Ther is a grand event at Sri Sarangapani Temple in Kumbakonam. Devotees visit Tamil Nadu to attend this event during the Pongal festival. But due to the coronavirus pandemic situation, the temple has decided to celebrate the festival within the temple premises. Like the last year, a decorated idol of Sri Sarangapani will be placed on the silver chariot & pulled along prakarams in the temple precincts.
Every year “ThaiPongal” festival is celebrated at Sri Sarangapani Temple, Kumbakonam. On the last day of Pongal, a grand event of pulling a wooden car across the four Mada Streets of Sri Sarangapani temple is held.
