TIRUVANNAMALAI: The Tiruvannamalai district administration will launch a mobile application ahead of the annual Karthigai Mahadeepam festival at the Arunachaleswarar Temple for the benefit of devotees. The app will have all information about the festival and services.

Collector K S Kandasamy said a devotee had come forward to develop the mobile app to provide information of medical camps, temporary bus stands, police booths, free accommodation facilities and locations of annadhanam organised along the girivalam path during the Karthigai Mahadeepam fest. The festival will take place on December 2.

The app will have emergency numbers and the contact numbers of revenue, police and health officials.

The app will also have information on the festival, pilgrim spots and holy tanks, he said and added that it would be developed within a week.

Special darshan tickets for Barani Deepam and Mahadeepam would be available online this year. The online tickets would be available on the Arunachaleswarar Temple website, he said.

Around 23 lakh devotes participated in the festival last year. The authorities expect the same number or more devotees this year.
