Kolam contest, vilakku puja at Amman temple

MT AMMAN TEMPLThe community around the Nagathamman Temple off  Mosque Street in Mylapore have been over the past few days celebrating the aadi festival in a special manner. The hereditary managers of this small temple located opposite the Sri Anjaneya Temple here say that the family founded the temple as a small shrine and have managed it over 100 years.

Over the past few days, there has been a mass vilakku puja on its premises and a kolam contest for local residents – the latter took place on Wednesday evening.

A colourful ther procession is also due this weekend.
