Brahmotsavam at Sri Kapaleeswarar Temple, Mylapore, Chennai

Mylapore, the oldest neighbourhood of Chennai sees many cultural and religious festivals every year.

The ten day annual Brahmotsavam of Sri Kapaleeswarar temple is a grand celebration for the people in and around the city. The deity is taken around the mada streets in different vahanams and the festival leads up to Thirukalyanam - the divine wedding of Lore Shiva with Parvathi - on the tenth day.
Every year Kutcheribuzz and Mylapore Times, the neighbourhood newspaper join hands to bring this festival in colourful picture galleries and webcast of important days.
