Devotees Banned From Climbing Arunachala Hills on Maha Deepam

The Tiruvannamalai District Collector has banned devotees from climbing the Arunachala Hills during the Maha Deepam day. This decision was implemented due to heavy rainfall forecasts expected during the Karthigai Deepam celebrations in the region. Authorities aim to ensure public safety and prevent accidents amidst adverse weather conditions.
