The Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation plans to operate 2,615 special buses from Chennai, Villupuram, Kumbakonam, Tiruchi, Madurai, Bengaluru, Salem, Dharmapuri, Hosur, Coimbatore, Tirunelveli, Thoothukudi, Vellore and Kancheepuram to Tiruvannamalai for the Karthigai Deepam festival. The buses are scheduled to make 6,500 trips from December 10 to 12.
Karthigai Deepamis celebrated in a grand style for 10 days every year at the Lord Arunachaleswarar temple, in Tiruvannamalai. This year’s festival started with the hoisting of the flag on December 1. The car festival is slated for December 7 and Mahadeepam on December 10.
Thousands of devotees are expected to visit the temple town from across the State and neighbouring Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Non-vegetarian stalls will remain closed.
Collector K.S. Kandasamy has ordered closure of all meat shops and non-vegetarian stalls in the Tiruvannamalai municipal areas and the 14-km Girivalam path on December 7 and 10.
Entry passes
The district administration has decided to permit 2,500 devotees to climb Annamalai Hill in Tiruvannamalai for the Karthigai Deepam festival. A counter will be set up to issue passes to devotees at 6 a.m. on December 10 on a first-come-first-served basis.
The administration, along with the police department and the temple administration, will open a counter on the Shanmuga Industries Government Higher Secondary School campus at 6 a.m. Devotees should produce Aadhaar, election ID card or any other government-issued document to obtain the passes. They will be permitted to climb the hill only through the designated route near Pey Gopuram.
They will be allowed to pour ghee only in the cauldron, but should not light deepam in any other place.
