Melkote Nama row: State asked to file objections

Staff Reporter

Bangalore: The Karnataka High Court on Tuesday directed the State Government to file its statement of objections to a petition by a member of the Tengalai sect of Sri Vaishnavas, who had challenged the action of the Muzrai Department in permitting the deity in the Yoganarasimha Temple at Melekote to be anointed with a nama belonging to the Vadagalai sect.

The petitioner, Anandalawan, said the Muzrai Department had erred in permitting a nama belonging to the Vadagalai sect to be fixed on the forehead of the deity. He claimed that on February 26, 2000, the Civil Judge (Junior Division), Srirangapatna, had passed a judgement saying that the Yoganarasimhaswamy temple at Melekote would follow the Tengalai tradition of worship and that the insertion of Vadagalai nama in the temple and Gopura, including a silver Vadagalai Nama on the deity, was illegal.

Justice N.K. Patil adjourned further hearing of the case.
