Sitharaman, born at Madurai in Tamil Nadu, also watched the Sri Rama Keerthana recitation, Kamba Ramayana Upanyasam and ‘Pancharathna Keerthana’ at Sri Kamakshi Amman Temple in Kanchipuram, ahead of the Pran Prathisththa ceremony.

The connection between Kanchipuram and Ayodhya is also mentioned in the Brahmanda Purana and Garuda Purana,» the FM's office said in a post on social media platform X.


In the morning, Sitharaman had continued with her attacks on the DMK regime for what she called denial of permission to put up screens to show live telecast of events at Ayodhya.
«In the Thovalai Murugan Temple, located in Nagercoil, permission is being denied to put up LED screens for live telecast. Order by police seen below. No watching @PMOIndia citing any law and order situation that “might” arise,» she had said in a social media post.

One of the responses the post received many responses suggested to get relief from courts.

TN BJP president K Annamalai had posted a recorded conversation between a government official and a devotee where the official «mentions explicitly that they have received oral instructions not to allow any activity inside the Temple
