PM to visit TN, Puducherry on March 1; offer prayers at Tirupparankundram Sri Subramanyaswamy temple

CHENNAI: (Feb 28) Prime Minister Narendra Modi will arrive in Chennai on Saturday night ahead of his one-day, packed visit to Tamil Nadu and Puducherry on March 1 to inaugurate a series of initiatives.

While in Madurai, he will visit the Arulmigu Subramanyaswamy Temple in Tirupparankundram and offer prayers.

It may be recalled that a controversy had erupted last year during the Karthigai Deepam festival over devotees lighting a lamp atop a deepathoon (stone pillar), after local authorities resisted the move.
