A large number of devotees, mainly women, thronged Sri Jambukeswarar-Akilandeswari Temple in Thiruvanaikoil on the occasion of last Friday of Tamil month of Aadi.
The devotees, who came from different parts of the district, stood in a long queue to have a darshan of the presiding deities Jambukeswarar and Akilandeswari. They had to wait for more than two- hours to get darshan.
Elaborate arrangements were made to regulate the crowd.
Similarly, most of Amman temples, including that of Vekkaliamman Temple, Nachiyar Temple, Woraiyur, and Kuzhumayi Amman Temple, saw a large turnout.
