Dikshithars vs TN govt: Chidambaram temple caught in a legal tangle | The Federal

Описание: In this compelling video, we delve into the ongoing legal tussle between the Podu Dikshithars, a subsect of the Brahmin community, and the #tamilnadu government over the management of the historic #thillainatarajar temple in #chidambaram. The 10th century #temple built by the #chola kings, attracts #devotees from all corners of the world. We traveled all the way to Chidambaram to cover the story.

Join us as we take you to the history of the temple's administration including the #supremecourt's ruling that allowed the Dikshithars to manage it after a long legal battle with the state. We discuss the temple's extensive lands, which stretch beyond Tamil Nadu, and the controversy surrounding the temple's dwindling #revenue.

The Federal spoke to HR&CE minister P Sekar Babu and Podhu Dikshithars about the legal tussle to provide you all you wanted to know about the legal tangle. We report from the famed temple, situated in #cuddalore district of Tamil Nadu.
