Subramaniya Swamy Temple row: Chaos erupts over lamp lighting at Thiruparankundram hilltop in Madurai

Trouble began on Wednesday when activists from right-wing groups clashed with police after state government officials failed to light the sacred lamp at the hilltop stone lamp pillar. The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court had earlier directed that the lamp must be lit at the hilltop temple itself.
