A review meeting on the preparations for the Kumbabishekam was held with the participation of Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Minister Ramesh and officials from various government departments. The meeting focused on ensuring that devotees visiting the temple can travel safely and conveniently during the festival period.

Special attention was given to facilities for the expected influx of devotees. Officials discussed arrangements for the movement of visitors to and from the temple, along with measures to improve parking facilities for vehicles arriving in the city.

With the Kumbabishekam expected to attract large numbers of devotees, coordinated action by various departments is considered important for managing crowds and maintaining smooth traffic movement. The review meeting therefore focused on preparations aimed at reducing congestion and ensuring that visitors receive the necessary facilities.

The possibility of declaring a two-day local holiday in Madurai in connection with the Kumbabishekam was also discussed. Minister C.T.R. Nirmalkumar said that an announcement regarding the proposed local holiday would be made soon.

The source information does not specify the exact dates proposed for the two-day holiday or confirm that the declaration has already been approved. Further details regarding schools, colleges, government offices and other institutions would therefore depend on an official announcement.

Authorities are continuing preparations for the major temple event, with arrangements relating to devotees, transportation and parking among the key issues being reviewed.
