Madurai: Devotees witness celestial wedding at Meenakshi Amman temple

A large number of devotees thronged the Sri Meenakshi Amman temple in Madurai on Tuesday to witness the celestial wedding of Goddess Meenakshi and Lord Sundareswarar.

The celestial wedding was held at "Adi Veethi" where a giant pandal had been put up for the devotees.

A grand feast was also organised near the temple for the devotees.

The celestial wedding is part of the 20-day chitra festival.
