Clash of the chariots is on

Devotees’ dilemma: The Nattukottai Chettiar Temple silver chariot (left) will not have the streets to itself next Thaipusam as the PHEB golden chariot (right) will be travelling on the same route on the same day.

GEORGE TOWN: The Penang Hindu Endowment Board (PHEB) will not change the date of its golden chariot procession despite a request by the Nattukottai Chettiar Temple to reconsider having it on the same day as the temple’s silver chariot parade.

Board executive director M. Ramachandran said a number of announcements on the golden chariot procession was made at the beginning of the year.
