The Utharayanam Punya Kalam flag hoisting ceremony was held today, Tuesday, January 6, 2026, at the sacred Arulmigu Annamalaiyar Temple in Tiruvannamalai.

The auspicious Kodi Yetram (flag hoisting) marked the beginning of special religious observances at the historic Shiva temple. Devotees gathered early in the morning to witness the ceremony and seek blessings during the sacred Utharayanam period, which is considered highly significant in Hindu tradition.

Following the flag hoisting, special poojas and rituals will be conducted at the temple as part of the festival observances.
