Day 11 – 04/03/2026 (Wednesday) | Thirukalyanam

As our Thiruvizha comes to its sacred completion, we are blessed to witness the divine Murugan Thirukalyanam — the holy celestial wedding of Lord Murugan.

Thirukalyanam is not just a ritual, but a powerful symbol of self-conquest, inner peace, and spiritual victory. It represents the beautiful balance of masculine and feminine energies — Murugan embodying wisdom and strength, and Deivanai & Valli embodying devotion and love. Their divine union brings harmony, prosperity, and completeness into our lives.

This sacred reenactment is one of the most joyous and significant moments of the festival. Witnessing it is believed to remove obstacles, bless families with unity, and shower grace upon all.

Let us gather with devotion to receive His blessings and conclude our Thiruvizha with gratitude and joy.

🕉 Event Schedule:
• 10:30 AM – Kumba Pooja & Abishekam, Special Pooja
• 5:30 PM – Nithiya (Daily) Pooja
• 6:00 PM – Thirukalyanam (Celestial Wedding), Swami Procession
• ⁠Followed by Annadhanam
