C.N. Annadurai 118th Birth Anniversary Celebration

Event summary

Highlights

  • Garlanding of the C.N. Annadurai statue on Anna Salai
  • Floral tributes by state ministers and officials
  • Commemoration of the DMK founder's 118th birth anniversary
This commemorative event honors the legacy of C.N. Annadurai, the founder of the DMK and a foundational figure in Tamil Nadu politics. The primary public activity takes place on Anna Salai in Chennai, where a statue of Annadurai is ceremonially garlanded by government representatives and political leaders.

The anniversary is traditionally linked to the 'Muperum Vizha' (Three Great Festivals), a series of annual events that also celebrate the founding of the DMK and the birth anniversary of Periyar E. V. Ramasamy. While the formal tributes on Anna Salai are a staple of the day, larger party-led celebrations may be subject to rescheduling based on the availability of leadership.
