[06/10, 08:27] Sekarreporter: We are grateful to the Hon’ble Judges of the Special Division Bench of the Madras High Court hearing temple cases – for conducting a detailed inspection today (05.10.2025) for more than 4 hours regarding the ongoing constructions inside and outside the ancient Sri Arunachaleswarar Temple, Tiruvannamalai.

To my knowledge, this is the only such inspection by sitting judges underscoring the heritage importance of the ancient Temples of Tamil Nadu 🙏🙏🙏 –

HR&CE officials said that the inspection relates to a 2024 writ petition filed by temple activist T.R. Ramesh, who challenged a Government Order issued in 2023 for using temple funds to construct a shopping complex or a row of shops outside the Rajagopuram (prime temple tower) of the Arunachaleswarar Temple. The special Division Bench led by the two judges is hearing a petition filed by the temple activist.
