Here is your short paragraph on Tiruvadirai Festival:

Observed in the month of Margali (December – January) in Tamil Nadu, on the day with the asterism tiruvatirai, the Arudra festival is especially important to Lord Nataraja in all temples, particularly a significant one at Cidambaram.

Though the devotees perform special holy bath (abhisekham) to Nataraja for 6 times a year at Cidambaram, but the holy bath on Arudra day is supposed to be meritorious and conducted with eclat.

The worshippers throng in thousands and the festival preceding it in reverence. Tiruvempavai is recited on this occasion and Manikkavacakar is also associated with this festival on a specific day.
