Finally, the shoppers began to stream into North Mada Street in Mylapore to take look and shop for bommais for this Navaratri season.
They kept coming in since 4 p.m. and some took home bommais that appealed to them.
Hawkers had added more bommais to their display on Friday, expecting a good shopping crowd on the weekend. But that did not happen on Saturday.
Even on Sunday, a few hawkers said that the sales were just average and not as good as the previous years.
