Temples should be made free from the control of the government is a demand which has been going on for a very long time. The demand got momentum after the Bharatiya Janata Party came to power at the Center and in a few states. The BJP released the temples in Uttarakhand and Karnataka.
Now everyone wants to see what the governments in other states will do to free the government from the government’s control. The alleged issues and irregularities at the temples are the main reason behind the demand getting support from many people.
Amid this, a new controversy broke out in a state where the umbrella that is used for the temple’s deity was used to protect Chief Minister’s wife from rain. When the rain started the umbrella was used by the CM’s wife.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Stalin’s wife Durga Stalin went to the famous Thiyagarajaswamy temple in Tiruvottiyur near Chennai. After it started raining the umbrella which was supposed to be used for the deity was used to save Durga from the rain.
Well, Chief Minister’s wife using the deity’s umbrella is controversial while a normal umbrella given to the deity raised many eyeballs and people are not happy with this. The Right-wing and BJP started targeting Durga on this and asked if she is bigger than the deity.
They are saying that the act is nothing but disrespect for the diety and the religious practices. Tamil Nadu is home to many iconic and historic temples. Despite all this, such controversies erupt in the state due to the Dravidian ideology.
The Endowments Department in Tamil Nadu is yet to respond to this. Legislators and their families are given importance when they visit the temples. But the deity’s belongings were not given to anyone so far. The Tamil Nadu wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party is alleging that as it is a matter of the Chief Minister’s family the department is not responding to it.
Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department(HRCE) is the state department and takes care of the temples across the state. All eyes are on the department to see what it will say about this new controversy.
