Devotees in Pollachi are worried as the kumbhabhishekam of the ancient Perumal temple at Vadachithur next to Pollachi’s Negamam has been postponed due to a corona infection following the consecration.
Negamam, which is situated next to Pollachi is the 19th-century Karivaratharaja Perumal Temple at the Negamam’s Vadachithur. The temple is under the control of the Tamilnadu government’s HR&CE department. The temple has not been maintained properly despite it being a very ancient temple. As a result of the demand of the people of the area, new idols have been placed in the temple, towers have been erected, a hall in front of the temple has been built, painted and renovated.
The kumbhabhishekam of the renovated temple was set to take place on April 25, according to the HR&CE Department. But now that the second wave of corona infection is spreading fast in India, various restrictions have been imposed on behalf of the government. Devotees were worried whether the renovated Karivaratharaja Perumal Temple would be held on time.
Currently, a notice board has been put up on behalf of the temple administration stating that the kumbhabhishekam of the temple has been postponed due to the rise in coronavirus infections. Thus the devotees and merchants who were waiting for the temple kumbhabhishekam to take place were greatly disappointed. The public is worried that they will face any difficulties as the temple consecration is hampered.
