Close to a lakh devotees gathered on the Vaigai riverbed early Friday morning to witness Lord Kallazhagar entering the river, the highlight of the annual Chithirai festival. Thousands then performed 'theerthavari' by spraying water on the deity as it proceeded to Ramarayar Mandapam. The event drew crowds from far and near in Madurai.
