Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Tamil Nadu on March 1 to address a rally in Madurai. He may also visit the Thiruparankundram temple, which has been at the centre of a major controversy over the lighting of a Deepam. The temple, considered the first of the six abodes of Lord Murugan, has been embroiled in a legal dispute for two months regarding the lighting of a lamp atop the hill where a dargah is located. The BJP and Hindu groups have criticised the DMK government for not complying with court orders allowing the lighting of the lamp.
