Hundreds of pilgrims witnessed Soorasamhaaram, conducted as part of the Kandha Sasti festival at the Subramaniaswamy Thirukovil at Sivakasi on 8th November 2013, Friday. The Soorasamhaaram began at around 5 p.m., with the idol of Lord Murugan and those of Sooran were taken out in a procession from Murugan Kovil to the four car streets of Sivakasi, where the ritual was held. With the devotees raising the slogan Kandhanukku Arohara, Muruganukku Arohara Lord Muruga killed Sooran. Earlier Soorasamharam organised by Sivan Kovil has been taken place in the four car street. The devotees offered a series of pujas after Soorasamhaaram.
