Tharoor hospitalised after sustaining injuries during ritual at Trivandrum temple

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor was hospitalised on Monday after he sustained head injuries during the 'Thulabharam' ritual at a temple here.

Doctors said Tharoor is out of danger. However, he has 6 stitches on his head.

Thulabharam is a ritual in which a person sits on a balance scale against a heap of offerings such as flowers and fruits, equal to the devotee's weight.
