Apart from these leaders, Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party leaders such as TN BJP chief Nainar Nagendran, Mahila Morcha President and Coimbatore MLA Vanathi Srinivasan, and K Annamalai were also present.

The traditional Shiva Velvi Puja was conducted between 6:00 and 7:15 AM, following which abhishekam was performed to the main Shivalinga at the temple.
Shanthalinga Marudachala Adikalar of the Perur Aatheenam, along with Kumaragurupara Swamigal of Siravai Aatheenam, briefed reporters on the significance of the event a few days ago. They noted that the celebrations commemorated the 100th birth anniversary of Shanthalinga Ramasamy Aatheenam, the 24th Guru Mahasannidhanam, who played a pivotal role in reviving Tamil Saiva traditions and empowering marginalized communities through religious outreach.
The saints emphasized the cultural and social importance of the event, citing Ramasamy Adigalar’s work in education, public health, and religious inclusion. They stated that the participation of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat underscored a shared commitment to cultural preservation and national values.
The event concluded with a public meeting open to devotees and residents, where Bhagwat remained present till 11:00 AM.
In a post on his X handle, former TN BJP chief Annamalai wrote, “This morning, a traditional Shivavelvi Pooja was held at the Coimbatore Perur Adheenam. Following this, I had the privilege of participating in the centenary celebration of the Perur Adheenam’s 24th Guru Mahasannidhanam, Thavathiru Shanthalinga Ramasamy Adigalar, and the @RSSorg organization, and I am delighted by this opportunity. Thayvathiru Shanthalinga Ramasamy Adigalar is someone who cherished Saivism and Tamil as two eyes. He excellently carried out works in education, society, medicine, tradition, and culture. With the aim of preserving our nation’s culture and heritage, the @RSSorg organization has been actively working for the past hundred years. It is truly special that this year marks the hundredth year for both Adigalar, who tirelessly worked throughout his life for the revival of religion and society, and the @RSSorg organization, which selflessly serves to protect our nation’s culture. In such a prestigious event, I am overjoyed to have participated alongside the respected national leader of @RSSorg, Hon. Shri @DrMohanBhagwat, the state president of @BJP4Tamilnadu, brother Shri @NainarBJP, senior leaders, officials, and friends from all parties.”
