The annual Nallur Hindu Temple festival in Jaffna will take place on 15 August, organizers told Daily Mirror online. The historic festival draws devotees from around the island as well as overseas.
Meanwhile the festival organizers added that strict dress code guidelines will be in place for devotees entering the temple during the festival. Men will not be permitted to wear jeans into the Temple while women must wear a toe length dress or saree.
Thousands of Hindu devotees are expected to attend the festival, the second to be held following the end of the war in May last year. (Daily Mirror online)
