The Tamil Nadu government has stirred up quite the controversy recently by melting down 1000 kg of temple gold. The official reason? A “revaluation” and some financial restructuring. But, of course, this move has sparked a lot of debate. Some folks argue it’s a necessary step for transparency, while others see it as a blow to the religious heritage tied to that gold. And if that wasn’t enough, now there’s chatter about melting down silver next.
In the midst of all this, the Sanatan Board is pushing for reforms, aiming to “free” Hindu temples from government control. Their goal? To put temple management back in the hands of the community. It’s a messy mix of tradition versus state power, and the debate is only heating up.
