I found this passage online (www.hindu.au); it seems to equate the

festival with Pangguni Uthiram? Still, any clarifications -- or advice

on observance -- would be welcome:

 

"The Pangguni Uthiram festival is an important day in the Hindu

Calendar. The Puranas state that on this day Shiva took the form

of Sundaresar and married Meenakshi (an avatharam taken on by Sakthi)

in the city of Maduari. The festivities at the Temple will

include a Thirukalyanam (marriage) ceremony for Shiva and Sakthi in

the evening. It is customary for married couples to observe

the ceremony as a re-enactment of their own marriage. At a

philosophical level, the "marriage" is seen as the ultimate objective

of each soul to merge with the Supreme Soul (Paramatma)."
