The 194th Aadi festival at the Ayya Vaikundar shrine in Thiruchendur began with the flag-hoisting ceremony and will run for 11 days. Thousands of devotees attended the opening-day rituals, including processions.
Every day during the festival devotees can view various vehicle processions — including floral chariots and traditional vahanas such as peacock and Garuda displays. The festival’s final day will feature a chariot procession scheduled for July 27 at 12:05 pm, and organisers have arranged multiple special prayers and community services throughout the period.
