The Chidambaram Natarajar Temple has been embroiled in various controversies, including the recent investigation into the alleged child marriages taking place within its premises and the Kanagasabai issue.
Notably, Deekshitars have been managing the temple for centuries. The temple has historically changed darshan timings and programs during festivals to ensure smooth management. The devotees and temple administration have been left confused and angered. Notably, Supreme Court has already ruled that the government cannot interfere in temple management. Despite the orders from the apex court, DMK continued to create controversy using Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments around the temple.
Devotees were offered prayers from the Kanagasabai medai (sacred stage) at the Tamil Nadu’s famous Chidambaram temple which is caught in a controversy over the rules imposed by ‘Podhu Dhikshitars’ who manage the temple.
The ‘Dhikshitars’ have refused to permit the devotees at the Siva temple in Cuddalore district to get atop the Kanagasabai medai in view of the Aani Thirumanjanam, an annual temple festival. They placed a board at the temple announcing that the devotees would not be allowed to get atop the sacred stage from June 24 to 27. It was removed by Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department.
The priests claimed that managing the large volume of devotees during the special occasion would make it difficult to safeguard the jewels and conduct the puja. Hence, a board was placed which had the restrictions listed.
On the other hand, Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Minister P K Sekar Babu lashed out at the Dhikshitars saying that they are acting like power centres in the temple and measures have been taken to bring the temple under the ambit of HR and CE department.
This video explains all the above-said issues clearly and also explains a long history war between Chidambaram Dikshitar and Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments.
