Netizens Reactions:
One user wrote, "This kind of labelling is not done! I take offence as a Tamilian! In Tamil Nadu nobody is allowed to stay at temples. The culture is different. Maybe in the north (even there Ayodhya won’t allow) it is common. But due to many concerns - security, as well as state HRCE directions - temples are not allowed to be lodges as it can lead to attraction of unwanted criminals taking refuge which affects the purity and sacredness of the space. Casual human habitation is therefore a contrast to that."
While one user wrote, "It’s not only with this guy but I have seen too many bloggers faced the same issue in TN. Even Kerala seems more helpful. One guy from my village also goes on India tour. He got a welcome gesture in most of the Kerala part but he didn’t get much help/support in TN."
Another user wrote, "Temples don't have such facilities and are not made for that. Temples have a very clear timings (opening, closing) .In most temples the keys are kept on the feel of Bhairavar before it's locked..no one can enter after that. He should have done a bit of research before he started."
Another user commented, "This is the fate of Hindu temples under govt control, an anti-Hindu move. Instead of just blaming the peoples, question the root cause. Temples once sheltered the needy & supported saints on their yatras now reduced to this. Shameful."
