Meenakshi temple revives sacred water ritual after 4 yrs

Madurai: Madurai's Meenakshi Amman Temple has resumed its traditional practice of drawing sacred water (Thirumanjanam) from Vaigai river for daily rituals, after a hiatus of four years.
The temple administration had stopped the practice due to the COVID lockdown but has now restored the well and resumed the tradition. The sacred water is drawn from a well in the river and carried in a procession to the temple, accompanied by music, and elephants.
Devotees are thrilled to see the revival of this ancient custom, which is an integral part of the temple's daily rituals.The temple priest performs special pujas and abhishekam with the sacred water.ANI
