All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam supremo J Jayalalithaa will be sworn in as Tamil Nadu chief minister for the sixth time, on Monday at the Madras University Centenary Auditorium in Chennai.

She will be sworn-in for a second consecutive tenure along with 28 ministers.

The stately auditorium has a special significance for Jayalalithaa as she was first sworn-in as chief minister here on June 24, 1991 by the then Governor, Bhishma Narain Singh.

In 2011 too, she took the oath of office at the same premises while in 2001, the swearing-in ceremony was held at Raj Bhavan.

The interiors and exteriors of the auditorium have been spruced up and decorated. Besides, the building has been illuminated by glittering ornamental lights at night, since Saturday.
