Trustee Of Mariamman Temple Near Nannilam Erects Banner Wishing For Ramzan, Removed After Intervention From Devotees And Hindu Munnani

The Hindu Munnani, with assistance from authorities, has removed the ‘Ramzan wishes’ banner put up by N. Muruganandam, a trustee of the Arulmigu Sanduveli Mariamman Temple which falls under HR&CE Department. This action followed concerns raised by devotees who highlighted that the trustee placed banners on a public road, which featured Ramadan wishes along with the temple’s name and his own.

The temple trustee’s involvement in promoting other religious practices led to a formal complaint being lodged with the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department. As a result, departmental action has been initiated against him.

The Hindu Munnani, through its official X account, stated, “Complaint filed in the morning, banner removed by the evening..!! In Mappillai Kuppam village, located in Nannilam taluka of Tiruvarur district, N. Muruganandam, a trustee of the Arulmigu Sanduveli Mariamman Temple under the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department, had placed a banner on a public road featuring Ramadan wishes with both the temple’s name and his own on it. Additionally, he participated in prayers and consumed the fasting porridge. The banner was swiftly removed following a complaint filed by the devotees and the Hindu Munnani condemning the use of the temple’s name for religious events and involvement in promoting other religious practices. A departmental action has been taken against him.”
