A district executive committee meeting of the Okkaligar (Kappu) Youth Association was held at the Okkaligar Bhavan headquarters in MVM Nagar, Dindigul, on Tuesday.
The meeting was presided over by district president Govindaraj, with secretary Karthikeyan and treasurer Sadaimuthu in attendance.
During the meeting, members highlighted the religious significance of Padmagiri Hill in Dindigul, which is visited every month by devotees who undertake girivalam (circumambulation) and offer prayers. However, the absence of deity idols at the temple located on the hilltop has been a longstanding source of concern among devotees.
The association passed resolutions urging the reinstallation of the idols of Abirami Amman and Padmagireeswarar at the Padmagiri Hill temple. It also called upon both the Central and State governments to take necessary steps to facilitate the consecration (pratishta) of the deities at the hilltop shrine.
Additionally, the association urged political parties to include the installation of the deities at Padmagiri Hill as an election promise.
The meeting concluded with a call for coordinated efforts to restore regular worship at the temple and address the sentiments of devotees.
