The Tamil Nadu government will do away with the present system of distribution of food packets, as part of the Annadanam scheme in temples to devotees and serve them in the shrines starting Monday, the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment (HR&CE) department said.

Due to the Covid pandemic, Annadanam in temples was implemented through food packets which will now be restricted only to Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, the Minister’s office said in a release on Sunday.
From today onwards (September 20, 2021), Annadanam will be conducted in temples where it is being done already, adhering to Covid-19 protocols, from Monday to Thursday and food will be served to the devotees, the release said.
