Ayyappa Temple in Kavarati (Lakshadweep) by JGN

by JGN

I will tell you an actual incident narrated to me by one of my sub-ordinate. He had gone to Kavarati (Lakshadweep) for a job connected with a Defence Project. The inhabitants of Kavaratti are all Musliims except for the Govt employees (and a few employees of Private Companies, specially on Govt work). Special Permits are required for any one to visit any place in Lakshadweep.

As is usual with Keralites, some of the Govt employees decided to construct a small Ayyappa Temple there but the Musliims were furious about the same. One intolerant guy tried to demolish the same by crashing a Jeep into the building in cinema style. He was not able to destroy the temple but he got paralysed waist down in the process. 

After that the Musliims themselves came forward an completed the construction of the temple and they are now more devoted to Ayyappa than the Govt employees from Kerala!!
