Festivals at Tiruttani Murugan Temple

Our temple is a hub of vibrant festivities and spiritual activities. The monthly Kiruthika draws a large number of devotees, but the standout annual festivals are the Aadi Krittikai and the New Year Step Festival on December 31st.

Aadi Krittikai

The Aadi Krittikai festival, celebrated in July-August, is a three-day event that includes the Float Festival. This festival attracts hundreds of thousands of devotees from all corners of the world. The streets come alive with the sight of approximately one hundred thousand flower kavadis being offered to the deity. The chants of “Haro Hara!” echo through the air as devotees march and dance in long rows, creating a mesmerizing spectacle.

New Year Step Festival

As the English New Year begins at midnight on December 31st, devotees gather on the sacred Tanikai hill for darshan. They come to Tiruttani to offer their heartfelt prayers for peace and prosperity in the New Year. On this day, bhajana groups ascend the hill, singing Tiruppugazh songs and lighting camphor on each of the hill’s 365 steps, symbolizing each day of the New Year.

In addition to these, we celebrate the Float Festival in the month of Aadi, Bhramotsavam in the month of Maasi, Valli Kalyanam on the eighth day, and Skanda Sashti in the Tamil month of Aippasi.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Tiruttani Murugan Temple and hope that you have a peaceful and spiritual experience.
