Huge garlands catch the eye of the devotees

Several hundred devotees had gathered today morning to witness the Purusha Mirugam vahanam being taken on a procession around the Mada Streets.

The flower garlands in particular caught the eye of several devotees. Several of them gasped as the vahanam, wrapped in the huge garland (as seen in the picture) made its way out of the temple. I am pretty sure it weighs atleast 30 kgs, said a devotee.
