The online edition of The Hindu says that 38 people lost their lives, including a few small children. Many more have been injured, and are in local hospitals. The temple itself seems to have escaped damage, but the pandal erected for the kumbhabhishekam caught fire, and was ruined. It seems that proper exits had not been provided. Vidyasankar Quote
Guest guest Posted June 10, 1997 Report Posted June 10, 1997 Dear Bhakthas, Perhpas this is the wrong place to ask this, but does anyone have any details on the damage caused to the Big Temple (Brihadeeshwarar Koil) in Tanjore, during yesterday's fire? For its architecture and spaciousness, this is my favorite temple and I had been there just this December. Hope there hasn't been great damage to the temple Again, sorry to be asking a non-Vaishnavaite Q, but the temple is a monument for all Hindus, extolling the great virtues of our history makers!
