DINDIGUL: Devotees would now be able to listen to pujas and rituals conducted in the Palani Dhandayudhapani temple, everyday by logging on to the temple website, www.palanimurugan.hrce.tn.gov.in.
Minister for HR and CE, P K Sekhar Babu, accompanied by the minister for cooperatives I Periyasamy, and minister for food and civil supplies R Sakkarapani visited the temple on Monday. The ministers sought information about the daily rituals which draw large crowds. The ‘Vizha puja’ is performed at 6.40am every day, followed by the Sarukalasandhi puja at 8am, ‘Kala Sandhi puja’ at 9am, ‘Utchikala puja’ at 12pm, ‘Sayaratchai pooja’ at 5.30pm and the ‘Raakala puja’ at 8pm. The priests’ chantings could be heard only by those who visit the temple or are in the vicinity. Now, many across the globe can listen to it on the website and YouTube.
Babu said while no work was carried out in the Palani temple for the past 10 years, but now it has been initiated on the direction from chief minister M K Stalin. Work on the second rope car scheme initiated in 2017 was also pending and steps would be taken to expedite the same. He said the facilities at the Palani temple would be developed on a par with that of the Thirupathy Tirumala temple.
