Controversial Banner at Salem Temple

A controversial banner displayed during the Ashada festival celebrations at the famous Mariamman Temple in Attur, Salem district of Tamil Nadu, has triggered widespread criticism. The banner reportedly depicted TVK president and actor Vijay in the form of Ravana, while actress Trisha was portrayed in a divine form, drawing objections from devotees and local residents.

Police reached the spot soon after receiving information, removed the banner, and registered cases against two youths allegedly involved in putting it up. An investigation is underway. The incident has sparked debate on social media, with many calling for greater sensitivity during religious festivals.
