A temple celebration in the Kuruvimalai area of Kanchipuram in southern India has gone viral for carrying an image of former adult movie actress Mia Khalifa alongside the temple deity’s picture.

During the Aadi month festivities at the local temple, somebody had designed and displayed this hoarding featuring Mia Khalifa on it. The morphed hoarding showed the adult actress wearing an Indian dress and holding a kalash (pot) on her head. People who came across this, were shocked. They brought the matter to the notice of the police, who took necessary action.

The incident was reported from the Sri Mappillai Vinayagar Temple complex of the region which is also an abode to Sri Nagathamman and Sri Chelliyamman deities along with Lord Ganesha. The hoarding surfaced in association with the Chelliyamman temple in the premises and its annual celebration of the auspicious Aadi month.

The huge hoarding announced the beginning of the Tamil month and its celebration at the temple. It was learned that the temple had been hosting Aadi festivities for more than a decade and this was the 12th event there. So far, only people in the area and its vicinity knew about the celebrations at the temple, but now, with the Mia Khalifa poster going viral, the event has caught the attention of thousands of people online.
