To mark 50 years of Rajinikanth in cinema, a fan named Karthik adorned the Rajinikanth temple, ‘Arulmigu Sri Rajini Temple’ in Madurai, with over 5,500 photographs of the artiste. He also performed ‘abhishekam’ (ritual bathing) as part of the worship, showcasing his deep devotion and admiration.
The temple, inaugurated just a few years ago, features a striking 300-kg idol of Rajinikanth and stands as a symbol of the actor’s fans’ deep emotional connection and the immense popularity of the superstar across generations.
Treating the actor as a deity, Karthik and his family performed special rituals and celebrations in the temple to honour the actor’s golden jubilee in the film industry on Thursday. The fan adorned the temple with the photos of Rajinikanth and his movies.
