‘Vaishnavite’ does not refer to brahmins alone, says Madras HC
Friday, 15 August 2025 () Madras High Court has ruled that the term 'Vaishnavite' encompasses all devotees of Lord Perumal, not just Brahmins. The court rejected a petition seeking to restrict participation in a temple shop auction to Hindu Vaishnavite Brahmins only. Justice Anand Venkatesh emphasized that ensuring ritual practices and prasadam preparation experience is sufficient, regardless of community, thus promoting equality.
