Seers from Tamil Nadu arrive in Delhi and prepare for the grand ceremony of Sengol

New Delhi:

Ahead of the inauguration of the new parliament on Sunday, nearly 30 pontiffs from different Adheenams of Tamil Nadu arrived in the national capital and visited the Uttara Swami malai temple on Friday to offer prayers.

These stray dog ​​heads from Trichy, Madurai and other places also changed Tamil hymns like Thevaram, giving an idea of ​​what the inauguration rituals would be like. About 60 religious leaders have been summoned for the event, many of whom are from Tamil Nadu.

The adheenams or stray dogs of Tamil Nadu have a history of resisting upper caste domination and are known for bringing religion to the masses. Many of them are hundreds of years old.

The Thiruvavaduthurai adheenam who was given the task of preparing the Sengol or scepter for the transfer of power is 400 years old. The pooch’s representatives have also started arriving in Delhi.

V Balasubramanian, president of the temple, said that these mongrels had great knowledge of Tamil traditions and customs, and the parliament will only be enriched by the presence of Sengol and Tamil rituals.

“They say in Tamil that the Sengol should not bow down… It is a symbol of justice and we should be proud that these traditional symbols are taking their rightful place,” he said.

Earlier in the day, the Congress raised questions about the claims made by the BJP about the history of Sengol and its importance in Indian Independence.

Congress Secretary General Jairam Ramesh alleged that the claim that the Sengol, at the insistence of freedom fighter C Rajagopalachari, became the symbol of the transfer of power was false. The RJD and the DMK have also raised similar questions.

But the pooch in question, Thiruvavaduthurai adheenam, issued a clarification citing his disappointment with the claims made by Congress.

Home Secretary Amit Shah said Congress was disrespecting not only ancient Hindu symbols but also holy men.
