Sacrilege, violence and hate inside one of our holiest Kshetras! Chidambaram Nataraja Temple. A man forces his way into the sanctum, takes Abhishekam milk meant for the Deity, pours it over himself, shouts “there is no God,” and assaults the Dikshitars. Temple sanctity is non-negotiable. The state must act now. And action must be swift and exemplary.
