Devotees who visited on Monday morning were sent back; rituals will continue within the premises as usual
Following the fresh restrictions announced by the TN government to reduce the spread of COVID-19, over 800 temples under the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) Department remained closed for devotees on Monday in Coimbatore district.
Officials from the HR&CE Department noted that the temples were closed for devotees after over seven months as they were earlier opened in September 2020 following last year’s lockdown. This includes prominent temples in the district such as Subramaniyaswami Temple at Marudhamalai, Patteeswarar Temple at Perur and Aranganathaswamy Temple at Karamadai along with Koniamman Temple and Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Temple within the Coimbatore Corporation limits.
