The procession will begin from the temple at 4 p.m. and end at 4 a.m. on October 20th informed Padmaraj R., treasurer of the temple management committee, here on Wednesday.

Speaking to the press he informed that over 70 tableaux will take part in the procession, wherein idols of Sharada and Navadurga will be taken out in a procession on the main roads. Nearly 100 folk artiste groups from different parts of the State will take part.

Only one generator vehicle along with each tableaux will be allowed from this year and no other vehicle will be allowed to accompany. The temple has assigned two coordinators for each tableau whose responsibility is to ensure that it keeps moving, he said.

“We have collected Aadhaar copies of these coordinators and have issued them unique shawls. They will be held responsible if there is any untoward incident,” he said and added that there will be an assistant sub-inspector and four constables for each tableaux.
