THE Arulmigu Sri Maha Mariamman Temple in Queen Street, Penang, will be in a hive of activity during the fifth Maha Kumbavishegam (consecration ceremony) on Sunday.

Prior to that, more than 20 priests will perform a three-day pooja starting Friday at the temple, believed to be one of the oldest in the country.
