Karthigai Deepam at Sri
Kapali Temple in Mylapore
on Thursday evening was a
solemn and traditional affair.
But the wet evening saw a
moderate crowd at the temple.
    Since 6 p.m. people kept
streaming into the temple and
lighting earthen oil lamps on
a stand set up in the east end
of the campus. The drizzle
continued.
    In the Navaratri manda-
pam, the idols of lord Ka-
paleeswarar, the ambal and
lord Murugan were decorated
with flowers and special
alankarams.
    Later, the palanquins were
taken out in procession and
placed in the 16-pillar manda-
pam in Sannidhi Street.
    Vehicles were restricted on
East Mada Street where the
chokka panai had been set up
this year, opposite Rasi Silks
store. It was then set alight
and as the flames rose into the
air and the rain held on, it was
a sight to behold for the crowd
which had gathered here.
