The district administration has banned entry of devotees into the Mutharamman Temple at Kulasekarapattinam on important days in connection with Dasara festival that begins on October 6.
Chairing a meeting on conduct of the festival along with officials of Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department and festival committee representatives here on Monday, Collector K. Senthil Raj said the 11-day festival would be held on the temple premises and devotees would not be allowed on the day of flag hoisting (October 6), Soorasamharam (October 15) and the final day (October 16).
The decision has been taken in view of COVID-19 situation.
