I am a native of Tiruvannamalai. I am going today for Karthigai Deepam festival which is famous in my hometown. Hope you might have heard of the festival. It's a 10-day long festival and on the 10th day Deepam will be lit on the top of the hill.
When I was in school, we would eagerly wait for the festival to come because we would get 10-day holiday[after our half yearly exams get over]. We used to visit temporary shops & exhibitions which will be opened for the festival. It used to be lot of fun those days.
This year the deepam festival[10th day] will be celebrated on Dec, 1, 09. If you people get time to watch TV, please do see the festival live [I think broadcasters will be DD Podhigai, Raj TV, Sun News, Jaya TV] @ 6PM. Wishing you a Happy Deepam in advance.
