Around evening time, during the last supplication of the day, God Siva, spouse of Meenakshi is regularly taken in a palanquin from his temple and accompanied to his living spot, where Goddess Meenakshi waits in her shrine for her husband to come home. This ceremony is accompanied by music along with a gathering of devotees. When the God Siva arrives at his home, they rest in their bed chamber which is made of pure silver.
