It’s party time in Madurai!
Madurai’s unique Chithrai Festival has officially started. The celestial marriage preparations at Meenakshi temple is in full swing. The 45-day Chithrai Exhibition is also launched on time. The path for ‘Azhagar’ entering Vaigai river is being spruced up. City Police commissioner told media that women police constables will roam in disguise to catch eve-teasers! Expect to see remakes of Vadivelu comedy scenes on the streets!!
This time, a circus has also pitched in to add jazz to the festival time. Perhaps this is the first time a circus will conduct show on the northern side of Vaigai. It’s been setup at Wakf Board college grounds. The usual venue ‘UC Hr Sec school grounds at Tamilnadu theological seminary campus‘ is no longer an attractive option. It is now hidden by the shopping complex built by theological seminary along the road.
