The consecration of the
famous Sri Uchipillayar samy temple and Thayumanavaswamy temple at the Rock fort here was performed with thousands of devotees offering worship.
The yaga sala pooja for the Kuzhalammai Udanurai Thayumanavawamy temple began on December two and ended today with poornahoothi and main yagna.
The holy water was taken in a procession to the temple and consecration was performed at 8.30am.
"The discussions were positive and we put forward our
views. The Collector will be sending report to the Chief Minister, who we think is with us on the issue," Desai told reporters.
"The talks have been positive. We had no intention of launching any sort of an agitation. We respect the law. We were compelled to take up the 'satyagarh' (protest of January 26)...And as far as next week's protest is concerned, we will not carry it as of now and will wait for some solution," she said.
Sayaram Bankar, one of the trustees of the temple, also termed the discussions as positive and said "now the ball is in the chief minister's court"
Meanwhile, Shani Shignapur temple trust chairperson Sunita Shete said the issue was not about any personal rivalry but faith.
"We want the issue to be resolved through talks without hurting religious sentiments," she said.
The meeting was attended by 11 trustees, district collector and a couple of members of Bhumata Brigade, including Desai.
