Thiruparankundram temple board chairman and trustees resign

The chairman and three trustees of the Thiruparankundram Subramaniaswamy Temple resigned yesterday, causing a stir in the temple administration circles.

The committee, appointed by the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) Department in January 2024, successfully conducted the temple consecration. However, sources suggest the members faced pressure due to various controversies, including the ritual of lighting the lamp on the hilltop, and changing political conditions.

Chairman P. Sathyapriya and the members submitted their resignations. Officials will oversee administrative duties until a new committee is appointed.
