Thiruvairanikulam Mahadevar Temple is located in Kochi, Kerala. Popular film actress Amala Paul has visited this temple with her relatives to have darshan of Sami. The administration refused to allow him into the temple.
Amala Pal has returned from visiting Sami standing outside the temple. He posted his grief in the temple attendance register. In it, “It is sad that religious discrimination is being shown in this year 2023. I could not go near and visit the goddess. There was a situation where Sami was standing outside the temple. I hope this situation will change soon. The time will come when people will be respected as human beings and not on the basis of religion, he said.
Speaking to News 18 Malayalam TV regarding this matter, the administrators of Thiruvairanikulam Mahadevar Temple said, “Amala Pal was denied permission as per the procedures followed in this temple. This temple is a Hindu temple. Some people from other religions come to this temple for darshan but no one knows who they are.
If celebrities from other religions come to the temple for darshan, it becomes a huge controversy. Everyone knows that Amala Paul is a celebrity. For example, Guruvayur temple is visited by many Christians and Muslims. Then there was a controversy when the singer Jesudas left. The fact that he is a celebrity makes the matter controversial. When Amala Pal Sami came for darshan, we asked him what his religion was. We asked if he had converted to Hinduism and he replied no.
After this, he was not allowed inside the temple so that unnecessary problems should not arise. We asked Sami to visit him from the temple gate. He also accepted what we said and stood outside the temple and had darshan of Sami. He came to the temple office and sent him off by offering prasad.
