Madurai Deepam Showdown: HC Allows Lighting at Thiruparankundram Hill Shrine Near Dargah

Описание: On this Special Report, India Today Bureau Chief Pramod Madhav reports live from the Thiruparankundram hill temple in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, amid a tense showdown over the Karthikai Deepam festival. The Madras High Court, led by Justice G.R. Swaminathan, has granted permission to light the holy lamp on the ancient Deepathoon pillar, located just 50 meters from the Sikandar Badusha Dargah. Despite the court's directive to light the lamp by a specific deadline to avoid contempt, Pramod Madhav highlights a delay and ongoing protests at the site. He notes, 'The officials here apparently have taken all the kind of equipment that is necessary to light the lamp atop that particular Deepathur but no kind of like after that, there is no such development.' The report captures the friction between the temple's traditional rights and the objections raised due to the shrine's proximity to the Dargah.
