DMK’s Mupperum Vizha

The DMK organises the Mupperum Vizha every September to commemorate three significant occasions the birth anniversaries of social reformer Periyar EV Ramasamy and former Chief Minister and party founder CN Annadurai, along with the founding day of the DMK.

The 2026 edition was initially scheduled to be held at the Kalaignar Arangam at Anna Arivalayam on September 15.

Event postponed

The event was postponed after Stalin developed a fever caused by a viral infection. Duraimurugan had announced that the celebration would be rescheduled and that a fresh date would be announced later.

Stalin subsequently said he was resting at home on medical advice and that his previously scheduled programmes had been postponed. He added that he would continue to rest for another two to three days as advised by doctors.

Rescheduled on September 19

With Stalin recovering at home, Duraimurugan has now announced the revised date for the Mupperum Vizha. The celebration will be held on Saturday, September 19, at around 5 pm at Kalaignar Arangam, Anna Arivalayam.

The event, which brings together the three important occasions observed by the party in September, is expected to be attended by senior DMK leaders, party functionaries and award recipients.
