Karthikai Deepam at Sri Kapali Temple on Sat.

Karthikai Deepam celebrations at Sri Kapali Temple will start on Saturday evening at about 6 p.m. and go into the night, said temple managers today. The image of lord Kapali will be taken out in a  procession. A large stack of palm leaves will be set up in Sannidhi Street square, near Rasi Silks store and a simple ritual of lighting it will be held as the procession winds its way through the mada veedhis.

Oil lamps are to be lit all over the temple campus and alongside the temple tank by volunteers.
