A controversy erupted in Madurai after a newly constructed bridge in the Goripalayam area featured artwork showing only a horse, symbolically linked to the Kallazhagar procession, without the traditional depiction of Lord Kallazhagar.
The omission drew criticism from sections of local residents and devotees, who questioned the Madurai Corporation over why the deity’s image was not included alongside the horse motif.
