The annual teppam festival of Sri Adi Kesava Perumal Temple in Mylapore began on Monday evening.
The tastefully decorated float received the deities after the rituals held in the temple and the float, with a few people including priests and nagaswaram troupe made its rounds of the Chitrakulam which was illuminated.
A small crowd of people stood by the gates and on the steps of the tank to take in the teppam.
Has Adi Kesava Perumal Temple been handed back by the HR&CE?
The management is with the Trust now.
