Perayaan ini diadakan pada bulan setiap bulan penuh dalam bulan Chitirai dalam kalendar hindu.
Sebenarnya perayaan tersebut bermula 9 hari (i think) sebelum bulan penuh.
Pada pagi Chitra Paurnami, semua orang yang telah memasang hajat akan membawa susu ke kuil untuk upacara sembahyang .... the prayers goes on till the evening.
At that night, it is said that Goddess Amman will visit the town. so, she uses a chariot as her mode of transportation. during the festivel, the ratham / theer (chariot) is pulled by fellow devotees.
and this year, aku join sekali ....
the people who i know who pulled the chariot with me... my bros(biasalah), visnu, visnu's fren(kalaivani form 1 SMART 's bro), arvind, devagar, yughesh, and some other ppl.
