Devotees took part in the Vaikunta Ekadashi celebrations with devotion and fervour in the city on Friday.
Amid reports of the Omicron variant fuelling the Covid surge, many chose to take part in the celebrations virtually. However, in some areas, devotees thronged the temples and took part in the darshan while adhering to the Covid rules. Several people visited the TTD temple at Vyalikaval in the early hours to partake in the celebrations.
