Controversy Erupts Over Bhadrakali Temple Chairman Appointment
Imagine a very old temple, like one built by kings long ago.
Some people are worried about who is in charge of this temple.
They believe the new leader, Dr. Siva Subramaniam, shouldn't be in charge because they think the rules were broken when he was chosen.
They say his father and brother also caused problems.
They want the government to check everything and make sure the temple is being run fairly.
Members of the Devalaya Parirakshana Samithi (DPS) seek investigation into the appointment of Dr. Siva Subramaniam.
