A controversy has erupted at the Chidambaram Natarajar Temple after a group of three young men allegedly danced to a cinema song and recorded video reels inside the temple premises, triggering outrage among devotees.
According to the report by Tamil Janam, the youths filmed themselves at multiple sensitive locations within the temple complex, including the East Gopuram entrance, the Sivakama Sundari Amman shrine, and areas near the southern sanctum. The videos were later uploaded to their Instagram page and have since gone viral on social media platforms.
Devotees and members of the public have expressed strong displeasure over the incident, stating that such acts violate the sanctity and decorum of one of Tamil Nadu’s most revered temples. Many have urged the temple administration and authorities to take strict action against those involved to prevent similar incidents in the future.
A similar video of dancers dancing to an item song inside Mylapore Kapaleeshwarar temple went viral in February 2024. After massive outrage, the dancers apologised and deleted the video.
