The Tamil Nadu Government on Monday proposed to create database of movable and immovable assets of the temples in the State as part of its series of initiatives in the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) department.
Chief Minister Jayalalithaa said such assets of temples include metal and stone idols besides land and buildings. “All the information will be computerised,” she said in a statement. GIS and GPS will be used for documenting temple property, she said, adding, Enterprise Resource Planning will be used to give a fillip to temple.
