Neruppu Kothikkuthadi - நெருப்பு கொதிக்குதடி

180 YEARS OF SINGAI NAGAR THEEMITHI

A video montage of the 180 year old Firewalking festival, capturing the highlights of the annual event through the years.

Due to the pandemic, the festival will be restricted to only those involved in the rituals. As such, this year's festival has become an avenue to reminisce the blissful yesteryear memories of Theemithi.

Theemithi, the oldest hindu festival in Singapore, has been celebrated in Sri Mariamman Temple since 1840.
