Joe,
Not aware of the procession. Did you read it somewhere? People were talking about the statue unveiling at Madurai on this coming Oct 1st. Last week I had been to Madurai and my friend is telling me that the place where it was originally planned (near the court in KK Nagar) has not been alloted so far and so the ceremony has been postponed. Some alternate sites are being discussed it seems. Let's see.
In Chennai, Corporate club is organising a musical nite on 30th Sep, Sunday titled " Paatum Naane Bhavamum Naane" which is solely dedicated to NT. Hoardings for the same has come up in many places in Chennai. It is at Music academy.
Regards
