Chennai sources have reported that several thousands of temples that dot the landscape of Tamilnadu have been serving as Kamadhenu to the successive Dravidian parties that have been ruling the state for over five decades, especially in ensuring funds flow for numerous welfare schemes including marriage assistance scheme. Meanwhile despite this, the extent of revenue earned by temples continues to remain a mystery.



Furthermore despite facing criticism from the Sangh Parivar that it is pampering the minorities, the DMK too has used the temple revenue to fund welfare schemes, in the past. Moreover with temple priests not being paid their salaries and unable to assess the extent of revenue generated by each temple, the Kovil Pusarikal Nala Sangam has demanded the state government to constitute a special committee to probe the temple revenue.

Presently another issue that has been a cause for great concern to the temple priests is the financial aid of `1 lakh each provided along with public contribution to village temples - some of the ancient ones, to conduct single puja under the oru kala puja scheme.
