There were allegations that a receipt of Rs 100 would be issued if Rs 200 was donated at the place where the udumalai mariamman temple car festival was donated. Executive Officer Srinivasan has explained that the mistake occurred as the employees worked day and night without sleep.


Tirupur: The Udumalai Mariamman temple's car festival has caused a controversy, with an official stating that the error in taking offerings occurred while he was sleeping.

In this case, a big number of individuals from the surrounding districts flock to the temple.
