The famous 'Kanda Shashti Festival' is held annually at Tiruchendur Arulmiku Subramanya Swamy temple, the second palace of Lord Muruga's Arupada houses. Lakhs of Muruga devotees from all over the world come to Tiruchendur for this purpose. Tens of thousands of devotees stay in this temple for the 6 days of Kanda Shashti, without eating anything and drinking only water.
This year's Kanda Shashti festival started on the 13th with flag hoisting. 'Surasamharam', the main event of Kanda Sashti, will be held on the 18th.

This has shocked the devotees of Muruga. It is a great injustice to charge thousands to visit God. Attack on Devotees. During festivals and festivals, private buses and private commercial companies increase the fares and prices many times and rob the people as much as possible. Similarly, the secular tamil Nadu government, which has only Hindu temples in its grip, cannot accept the looting of devotees. This is highly condemnable.
