CHENNAI: Temples and parks saw less-than-normal footfall on the first day of their reopening. Parks, however, saw higher footfall towards the evening. There are almost half-a-dozen major temples in the city which come under the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments department.
Number of devotees who visited the temples was less on the first day of reopening, compared to a normal Friday. These temples are mostly visited by tourists. Generally, temples remain crowded on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, said an official.
