What Madurai organisers actually run — april–May for Chithirai and January for Pongal.
April–May for Chithirai and January for Pongal.
Two immovable dates set the year. Jallikattu runs 15 to 17 January across Avaniyapuram, Palamedu and Alanganallur, the last now with a 67-acre purpose-built arena. Chithirai Thiruvizha follows from 19 April to 5 May — fifteen days around the Meenakshi Amman temple for the divine marriage and Alagar’s descent to the Vaigai. Tamukkam Ground in Tallakulam is the city’s default for anything large and seated, and Thiagarajar College carries the student fest calendar.
