The festival is dedicated to the god Vishnu and his consort Lakshmi. The main event of the festival is a holy dip in the temple tank of Kumbakonam, which is believed to have miraculous powers.<\/p>\n<p>The temple tank of Kumbakonam is called the Mahamaham tank. It is a large artificial lake that is said to have been built by the Chola king Rajendra Chola I in the 11th century. The tank is believed to be one of the holiest places in Hinduism.<\/p>\n<p>The Mahamaham festival is a major tourist attraction. Millions of people from all over India and the world visit Kumbakonam to take part in the festival.
