On Kanda Shasti, the sacred journey will culminate at the top of the VelMont hill with Vel Abhishekam, following the Kavadi, Vel and Paalkudam procession.

As the Abhishekam is offered to the Vel, devotees will come together for Vel Maral Parayanam — sung as one voice in devotion. The powerful rhythm of Dhol Tasha, the collective chanting of Vel Maral, and the open mountain setting will create a deeply uplifting spiritual atmosphere.

Imagine standing on the hilltop as the sound of drums echoes across the mountains, sacred verses fill the air, and the Vel is bathed in Abhishekam — a beautiful convergence of devotion, sound, nature and community.

Come be part of this divine experience.

Carry your prayer up the hill.

Sing together. Feel the rhythm.
