Sri Vaikunda Perumal Temple near Sivan Temple here will be renovated. Minister for Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment P.K. Sekar Babu on Saturday ordered the HR and CE officials to start the renovation of the sanctum sanctorum of Sri Vaikunda Perumal Temple and the places where Sri Devi and Bhooma Devi idols have been kept. He discussed with HR and CE Secretary Kumaragurubaran, HR and CE Commissioner Chandramohan, Collector K. Senthil Raj, MP Kanimozhi, Minister for Fisheries and Animal Husbandry Anita R. Radhakrishnan, Minister for Social Welfare P. Geetha Jeevan and other officials on building a stone mandapam in the temple and conducting the shrine’s ‘mahasamprokshanam’.![](/newspic/picid-1269750-20250217064624.jpg)
When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
