‘Murugan’s Vel’ goes house to house in TN

In response to Karuppar Koottam’s abusive video against Hindu God Murugan and Kandha Sashti Kavasam, homes across Tamil Nadu conducted Vel Pooja and recited the hymn sung in praise of Lord Murugan.

The BJP’s Tamil Nadu unit under Dr. L. Murugan and several Hindu organizations and Mutts, had given a clarion call upon the request of several Murugan devotees including Kavadi and Padayatra groups to conduct Vel Pooja and recite the Kandha Sashti Kavasam on August 9 at 6 PM.

Millions across the state conducted the Vel Pooja with an image of Lord Murugan or his spear and recited the Kandha Sashti Kavasam.

Large number of them took to social media and posted photos and videos of the pooja being performed. The hashtag #Vel_Pooja was trending on Twitter.

BJP National General Secretary Muralidhar Rao marked the occasion in Delhi.

Other leaders like the party’s State Vice President Vanathi Srinivasan, State General Secretary K.T. Raghavan too performed the Vel Pooja.
