The Festival of the presiding deities Goddess Meenakshi & Lord Sundareswarar of the temple at Madurai is known as the most diverse and vibrant festival encompassing a very wide spectrum of devotees irrespective of class, caste, religion and colour. Various legends connected with the temple are enacted on these days and the grand chariot is pulled around the streets surrounding the temple. Lord Vishnu as Kallazhagar comes down from his abode in the mountains of Thirmaliruncholai to witness the grand wedding celebrations of his sister Meenakshi. However he arrives late and leaves all the gifts and other items he brought for his sister on the banks of the Vaigai River itself and leaves.
