The Karthigai Festival (Thirukkarthikai) at the historic Nallur Kandaswamy Kovil in Jaffna is a sacred sub-event held during the grand 25-day annual festival dedicated to Lord Murugan. The idol of Lord Murugan is placed on a revered vehicle (vahanam) and taken around the outer precincts of the temple grounds as thousands of devotees gather to watch and worship.
