Coimbatore: Facing severe water shortages and unbearable heat, more than a hundred Hindu Munnani members gathered at Koniamman Temple in Town Hall, Coimbatore, to pray for rainfall. The ritual, spearheaded by Hindu Munnani state committee member Satish, was a response to the drastically low water levels in local reservoirs such as Siruvani, Bhavani, and Aliyar.
