This is the time of the year when Pudhu Mandapam used to be bustling with activity for the Chithirai festival.
However, this year too has turned out to be disastrous for the dressmakers and shopkeepers of Pudhu Mandapam. With the imposition of new restrictions to contain the spread of rising COVID-19 cases, the district administration has announced that no crowds of devotees would be allowed to gather for this year s Chithirai festival. This will be the second consecutive year that the public gathering will not be allowed during the Chithirai festival.
