Mylapore will come alive this Mahashivarathri on March 1 this year. The Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) department has planned to hold the celebrations at the ground belonging to the Kapaleeswarar temple. The ground was recovered from a school by the government recently.
Minister for HR and CE P.K. Sekarbabu, who inspected the 72 grounds of land in the heart of Mylapore on Thursday, said it would turn into a “spiritual land” that night. “We have programmes from 6 p.m. on Tuesday to 6 a.m. on Wednesday, including Thirumurai parayanam, dance, discourses, pattimandram and music,” he said.
