TVK chief Vijay prays at Tiruchendur temple ahead of results

Days after the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, TVK chief Vijay visited the renowned Subramanya Swamy temple on Tuesday.

A source in Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) said Vijay prayed for the victory of his party in the Assembly election held on April 23 in the State. The counting of votes will take place on May 4, and the party is fancying its chances of a good show in its maiden electoral battle.

Also known as Tiruchendur Murugan temple, the shrine here is the second among the six sacred abodes (Arupadai Veedu) of Lord Subrahmanya in Tamil Nadu. It is located in the Ramanathapuram district.

The actor-politician was accorded Poorna Kumbha temple honours upon his arrival at the temple from Chennai.

He was presented with a Vel - a spear, a weapon adorning Lord Subramanya - and a shawl.

In spite of his early morning visit, a large number of his fans had gathered near the temple for a glimpse of the actor.

Vijay, the founder of TVK, participated in the ‘Viswaroopa’ darshan and offered his prayers.

He was accompanied by TVK general secretary ‘Bussy’ Anand and other leaders.
