festivals are going on 100s of years, if not 1000s of years, in the same way. Why only now such incident happened. As usual, no constitutional systems are going to unearth truth. Always play politics, show jimmicks and drama. increasing influence of constitutional machineries over temple affairs shaoul have played spoil sport. sending doctors not only enough,
