Chennai, Feb 23: To mark the 68th birthday of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa on Wednesday, Feb 24, a massive sapling plantation drive would be taken up in 6,868 temples across the state by the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department.
"Arrangements have been made to plant saplings of vilvam (bael) in Shaivite temples and punnai (Alexandrian Laurel) and Magizham (ape flower tree) in Vaishnavite temples," a release from the HR and CE Department, which manages a large number of temples across the state, said here today.
