Legendary music director Ilaiyaraaja has reportedly been insulted in a temple. The scenes of Ilaiyaraaja being sent out by the priests of the Andal temple in Srivilliputhur, Tamil Nadu, who had gone to the sanctum sanctorum, have now gone viral on social media.
As the Margasira month begins on December 16, Ilaiyaraaja reached the temple to visit the Andal and Rangamannarlan of the Andal temple in Srivilliputhur, Tamil Nadu. After entering the temple, Ilaiyaraaja and Chinnajiar were also with him. However, when Raja tried to enter the Artha Mandapam in front of the sanctum sanctorum to have darshan of the Lord, the priests there and Chinnajiar were also asked to stay outside.
With this, Ilaiyaraaja stood near the steps of the Artha Mandapam and accepted the temple rites and had darshan of the Lord. However, the fact that Ilayaraja was not allowed to enter the sanctum sanctorum has created a stir. Netizens are expressing their anger over this matter. They are commenting on whether this is the respect given to the musician who has praised the Lord in many songs. Meanwhile, a video related to this has now gone viral on social media.
