Ther, Arupathimoovar and ten days of vahanams

Kapaleeshwarar Panguni Peruvizha 2026 ran 23 March–1 April. This is an archive page, not a live invitation. Next year’s dates follow the temple calendar.

About the festival

How the ten days were used

Panguni is the temple’s annual peruvizha. Processions use the four mada streets around the tank. There are no tickets. Arrive on foot if you can; cars will not find a place on festival evenings. Pre-festival Kolavizhi Amman worship began on 22 March 2026. Photographs here are from the 2016 My Mylapore gallery — Athigara Nandi day and later thirunals.

The original mymylapore.com site was built around this calendar: Kodiyetram, Athigara Nandi, Thiruther and Thirukalyanam. Confirm each year’s board at the temple or mylaikapaleeswarar.hrce.tn.gov.in. Hours and vahana order change.
