Aadi Perukku Celebrated Along Cauvery Amid Low Water Flow Conditions
The Aadi Perukku festival was celebrated along the Cauvery river and nearby water bodies despite poor water flow this year. In Srirangam, devotees gathered at the Amma Mandapam bathing ghat but could not take the traditional holy dip due to the dry riverbed, with water sprinklers installed to assist rituals. In Tiruvarur and Thanjavur, people performed pujas on the Kamalalayam temple tank and riverbanks, adapting rituals to the limited water availability while seeking blessings for family well-being.
