The sorry state of affairs in Hindu temples is worsened further
with such scribblings on most of the temple walls by Hindus.
Not to mention the politics in temple management !

However sarcastic the tone may be in the lines below,
I kindly request people to NOT to write so in future.
The dangerous tendency is not to recognise the sarcasm
and take it as an advice might well set in the minds of people.
Another forseeable danger is a new generation might come up 
not knowing anything about AzvAr-s or even Tamil in TN !!! 
Or has it already come ? :-(

In my two visits to thanjAvUr periya kOvil, I was shocked
to see the scribblings, scratches, and all despicable things
done to centuries' old paintings. The least one can do is
keep writing about these, raise the awareness of people
and help bring a new generation of Hindus who will NOT
repeat these mistakes and perhaps restore these paintings to
their original glory over time.

the walls of a temple?
