Tarikere Police on Tuesday arrested four people, including a minor, on the charge of assaulting a doctor while holding him responsible for a child's death. Paediatrician Deepak, who works in a private hospital in Tarikere, was assaulted while he was returning home from hospital on May 31. The arrested persons are Venugopal (23), Nitin (23), Ventakesh (23) and the minor boy. The police have recovered two swords from the accused.
Away from the memorial of saint-composer Thyagaraja in Thiruvaiyaru, where his 179th aradhana is marked by five days of uninterrupted concerts, unchavritti and rendering of the Pancharatna kritis, a parallel aradhana is under way in Thanjavur. In the narrow Varagappa Iyer Lane off the bustling South Main Street, devotees queue up at a house named after Thyagaraja. It is here that the idols of Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata, Shatrughna and Anjaneya, worshipped by Thyagaraja himself, are preserved, along with a portrait of the saint-composer said to have been drawn by his disciples.
