Priest to carry SC person inside temple

Hyderabad: The Temple Protection Movement is taking up ‘Munivahana Utsavam’ in Ranganatha Swamy Temple, Jiyaguda on April 16 to sensitise people to stop ill- treating persons belonging to SC/ST community.

Senior priest in Chilkur Balaji temple C.S. Rangarajan said that he will be carrying a devout SC person on his shoulders inside the temple in  a procession.  “The Constitution has provided protection to the downtrodden and even several legislations have been enacted, but despite all this SCs are still facing insults. 

The Lord of Lords has ordained that we re-enact this Munivahana event to sensitize people,” he said. This utsavam is being supported by several Hindu and spiritual organisations.
