HR & CE Dept. takes over Agasthiyar Temple Religious & Cha- ritable Endowments (HR & CE) Department took over the management of Agasthiyar Temple on Raja Street in T. Nagar on Jan. 25 from the pri- vate management. According to HR & CE De- partment officials, the temple, located on more than 3 grounds, was constructed in 1940. It has a shrine for Agasthiyar and two other shrines. The temple was declared a private property. Many people started visiting the temple in- cluding film stars who donated large sums of money. “Amitabh Bachchan donated a crown soon after he recovered from his injuries on the sets of the film Coolie,” an official said. There were several com- plaints against members of the earlier management including misappropriation of funds but they went to court against the takeover of the temple by the State. In August 2011, the Madras High Court asked the private management to abide by the orders of the HR & CE Com- missioner. On Jan. 24, the Commissioner appointed an official to take stock of the temple and its assets. Based on the order, the Department took control of the temple the next day.
