In yet another incident of temple theft, unidentified people broke into an ancient temple near Thiruvidaimarudur in Thanjavur district and looted the golden Thaali (mangalsutra) of the Goddess.
Anandavalli Sametha Baskareswarar Temple is a 350 year old temple located at Baskararajapuram in Thiruvidaimaruthur. A few days ago, Sivanadiyaar Senathipathi who performs pooja every morning and evening, locked the temple at night and went back home after completing the evening rituals as usual.
The temple guard who came to open the next day was shocked to see that the four locks in the temple had been broken. It was found that the Thirumangalyam and silver puja items made of gold in the Ambal shrine were missing.
The temple administrator Krishnasami has lodged a complaint at the Thiruvidaimarudur police station. Police have launched an investigation into the matter.
