Need Tamil Kudamuzhukku for Thanjavur Peruvudaiyar Kovil, Demand Tamil Activists: The identity, heritage, history, and treasure of Tamil language and Tamil people, Thanjavur Peruvudaiyar Kovil is getting ready for its consecration ceremony. The government has planned to conduct the ritual on February 5.
Consecration is a reforming ceremony done in every religion and known by different names like Kumbabishkam in Sanskrit and Kudamuzhukku in Tamil. Such rituals are done to a sacred place when a holy place has been subjected to restoration works.
However, the new problem among the Tamil activists and people of Tamil Nadu is the consecration ceremony should not be done in Sanskrit as the Thanjavur Peruvudaiyar Kovil belongs to the Tamil Saivism. People of Tamil Nadu, including politicians, Tamil activists, poets, and writers, are demanding a consecration in the Tamil language.
