Expert Panel to Determine Temple Consecration Timing
Imagine a temple getting ready for a special ceremony.
The court has decided that a special group of experts will decide when the ceremony will happen.
A person named Sasthrigal, who knows a lot about the temple, said the original date wasn't a good choice.
So, the experts will look at ancient rules and decide on the best time to do the ceremony, making sure everyone agrees it's the right time.
Madras High Court directed a committee to decide the consecration timing.
The decision follows public interest litigation petitions.
R. Sivarama Subramaniya Sasthrigal, the Vidhayahar, is a key petitioner.
Sasthrigal stated that the fixed date and time were unsuitable.
