Lakshmi Theerthakulam at Thiruparankundram Temple remains dry
Devotees at Thiruparankundram Subramaniaswamy Temple demand a borewell to fill the dry Lakshmi Theerthakulam, which was recently renovated at a cost of Rs 6.50 crore.
The Lakshmi Theerthakulam at the Thiruparankundram Subramaniaswamy Temple, renovated at a cost of Rs 6.50 crore, remains dry, causing distress to devotees. Pilgrims are urging the temple administration to drill a borewell to ensure the tank is filled with water.
The temple, the first among Lord Murugan's six abodes, has three sacred water bodies. The Lakshmi Theerthakulam, located at the foothills, relies on rainwater collection. Devotees believe that bathing in this water helps cure skin ailments and removes spiritual doshas.
Despite renovation works commencing last August, the tank remains empty. Devotees are requesting the administration to seek a permanent solution by establishing a borewell to keep the tank filled.
