Huge crowd at Meenakshi temple ahead of closure for a week
The Hindu
Major temples will remain closed owing to surge in COVID-19 cases
Even as Madurai district administration has announced closure of all major temples from Monday, a large number of devotees thronged Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple on Sunday. It was an unusually huge crowd considering that only a moderate number of devotees visited the temple after it reopened once lockdown restrictions were lifted. “I regularly visit the temple. Today, I came for the monthly services. I feel bad that the temple will be closed from tomorrow,” said Eswari, 45, of Munichalai. She felt that more devotees would like to visit the temple in the next one week for the various festivals.More Related News
