Fiji Sun, Monday 4 Feb – 4000 people attended a festival in the largest Hindu temple in the Southern Hemisphere, the Swami Thaipoosam Thirunaal Festival in Nadi.
Rain and water cuts in Nadi failed to dampen the spirit of local and international Hindu devotees at the 92nd Vaarshika Thaipoosam Thirunaal Festival in Nadi yesterday.
Temple acting manageress Sandhiya Krishna said: “This is the second last day of the festival and Suva Sangam brought their devotees to perform the ritual.
“We had over 4000 in the crowd including locals and those from abroad having links to Fiji. Interestingly, rain or the water cut was not able to hold the people back from attending. The committee has strategically planned for this festival. We got seven extra water tanks to meet the needs of the people.”
Another festival that only takes place once every 12 years will be held from from June 14-17.
The other big event devotees look forward to is the Kavadi Pooja scheduled for March 28 – 30.Read in Fiji Sun
