HC Forms Panel To Decide Time For Tiruchendur Temple Consecration

A bench of justices S Srimathy and R Vijayakumar gave the direction while disposing of a batch of petitions filed claiming that the date and time (9 am to 10.30 am on July 7) allegedly chosen by the authorities was 'inauspicious'. They requested the court to direct the authorities to conduct the ceremony at 'Abhijith muhurtham' (between 12.05 pm and 12.45 pm) on the above date.

The five-member committee includes one of the petitioners, Sivarama Subramaniya Sasthrigal, and Sabarimala Ayyappan Melsanthi (chief priest) and Pillaiyarpatti Pitchai Gurukkal. The committee could have a discussion and the majority decision could be finalised, the judges added.
