Annual events such as Vishesha Draupadi Amman Theemithi Puja brings people together, provide comfort and solace, and uplift our spiritual lives regardless of what religion we belong to, says Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum.
While officiating at the lighting of the Agni Gundam at the Sangam Mahamarimman Temple in Vunivau, Labasa, Mr Sayed-Khaiyum said such events were pivotal.
The ritual that ends today will feature a firewalking ceremony that will mark the end of the 10-day fasting for the goddess Mariamman, a practice practised around the world by South Indian devotees.
