Vijay Extends Post-Poll Temple Tour To Shirdi Before May 4 Count

The high-profile pilgrimages function as spiritual displays that also signal his party-building push.

Overview

  • Vijay visited the Sai Baba temple in Shirdi on Wednesday, continuing a post-poll pilgrimage that drew large crowds at the shrine and airport.
  • A day earlier in Tiruchendur, he took Viswaroopa darshan and performed the Chathru Samhara Pooja, with temple authorities honoring him with a Vel and a shawl.
  • He flew by private aircraft from Chennai to Madurai late at night before driving to the Murugan temple, where police managed crowd surges as fans delayed his vehicle.
  • Senior TVK leaders accompanied the actor-turned-politician, underscoring outreach and organization-building as vote counting set for May 4 approaches.
  • The Tiruchendur ritual is tied to Lord Murugan’s martial lore and is traditionally sought to overcome obstacles and adversaries, a symbolism long familiar in Tamil political culture.
