Darshan allowed till late in the evening on final day of public viewing at Kancheepuram temple
With preparations on to lower the idol of Athi Varadar into the Ananthasaras tank at the Sri Devarajaswamy temple in Kancheepuram, devotees thronged the shrine for a final darshan of the idol on Friday, the last day of the once-in-40-years festival that began on July 1.
Though darshan for those coming through the eastern gopuram of the temple was to close at 9 p.m., the priests continued to allow people in much after as they did not want to deny darshan to anyone on the last day. District Collector P. Ponniah said that over a crore devotees had visited the temple over the last 47 days and added that darshan would close late on Friday.
