Age-old tradition must continue in Sabarimala: Dr. Veerendra Heggade
Belthangady: It would be best if we keep the age-old traditions alive at Sabarimala temple, opined Dr. D Veerendra Heggade, Dharmadhikari, Dharmasthala.
He was addressing media persons at Sri Kshetra.
"It is a tradition that devotees express the nature of self-restraint and self-control at Sabarimala. It is better to go there after performing 48-day rituals and go there. It is the significance of that land. But now people are visiting Sabarimala after performing four-day, two-day rituals. This is not a good thing," Dr. Heggade stated.
What will happen if women enter Sabarimala temple, this is not the question. The traditions that the elders have followed have a background. It is best to practice them, Dr. Heggade added.

Congress welcomed into TVK alliance with festive fervour
Chennai (PTI): All eyes are on TVK headquarters in Panaiyur here, as a delegation of Congress MLAs arrived for a high-profile meeting with actor-turned-politician Vijay.
The visual of the legislators entering the TVK premises has sent ripples through the state’s political corridors, signalling a potential shift in traditional alliances ahead of the upcoming electoral cycles.
The atmosphere at the TVK office remained charged, with supporters and onlookers gathering as the Congress leaders were ushered in for the closed-door interaction. The Congress leaders were welcomed by the TVK party chief and Chief Minister-designate with garlands and silk shawls.

While the meeting was officially termed a "courtesy call", the optics of established national party representatives engaging with the fledgling party’s top brass suggest a strategic warming of ties.
Insiders indicate that the discussions touched upon the prevailing political climate in Tamil Nadu, though both camps have remained tight-lipped regarding specific tactical understandings.
The visuals go viral, even as TVK followers are getting ready for the swearing-in of their 'Thalapathy' on May 7.
