Fair and Festivals in Coimbatore
The events of Coimbatore are mainly the traditional ones such as community fairs and festivals.
The city hosts many Hindu temples.
The Konniamman temple located at Big Bazaar is quite popular among those
temples. Every year during summer a car festival (Rath Yatra) take place in
honor of the Amman. Other temples such as Avinashi temple and Karamandai
temples also host car festivals attracting a huge crowd. The popular Tamil festival Pongal and Vijaya Dashami would be
celebrated with great fervor. On the Vijaya
Dashami day Puja will be done in the offices, in the commercial centers.
The city celebrates Christian and Muslim festivals also. Kartikeya
Deepam, a popular festival of lights (Diwali)
would be celebrated all across Tamil Nadu. Likewise the city of Coimbatore too
celebrates.
Since Coimbatore is a commercial hub,
the city holds commercial fairs and exhibitions occasionally. Polachi, a city in the Coimbatore
district is a trade center. There would be weekly fairs in Polachi inviting
spice traders especially, to display their products.
