On Thursday, the idol of Namperumal was brought from Kannadi arai and reached the ‘Thai thaer’ mandapam at 4 a.m. After special pooja, devotees pulled the temple car at about 6 a.m. raising holy slogans in glory of Sri Ranganathar. The car was pulled through the four Uthira streets and brought to rest about a couple of hours later.
