Big celebration in Little India


Annual ritual: Hindu devotees joining the chariot procession in front of the temple.

THE nine-day Navarathri Festival came to a spectacular end with hundreds of Hindu devotees and visitors thronging the Arulmigu Sri Maha Mariamman Temple in Queen Street, Penang, to witness a grand chariot procession.

It was a colourful night in the Little India enclave as the devotees turned up with their family members and friends, all garbed in their traditional clothes — saree, dhoti, kurta and jippa.
