Thousands of devotees visit the Tiruchendur Murugan temple every day, and the temple has placed multiple hundis (donation boxes) across the premises to collect offerings.
According to the report, hundis are located at several points including the Shanmugasa Mandapam, the inner corridor, the area near the main deity’s sanctum, and close to the flagstaff.
A theft was reported involving a hundi placed in front of the main deity. The incident drew attention due to the high footfall and the presence of donation boxes in prominent locations.
The report said two people were caught in connection with the theft. Further details on the method and the sequence of events were not provided in the available content.
