Kalyanasundaresar Temple, Nallur – Festivals
Maha Shivrathri in February-March and Margazhi
Tiruvadhirai in December-January are the festivals of the temple. 10day
Brahmotsavam in Maasi including a famous Chariot festival. Maasi Magam was
celebrated in a grand way in memory of the event bringing the 7rivers here for
Kunti Devi.
On the 12th day of the Visakam Festival in Vaikasi,
Kalyana Sundarar in a Glass Palanquin with Sundaragiriyar opposite him makes a
trip to nearby villages including Ranganathapuram, Kiliyur, Govindakudi, Aavur,
Eri, Panathidal, Maligai Thidal, Mattiyam Thidal, Papanasam, Thiru Palathurai
and Uthani. During this procession, Sage Agastya too accompanies the Lord
providing darshan to the devotees.
However, with the swindling of the temple lands and the
finances relating to the temple in the century gone by, these festivals in
recent times have lost its grandeur.
