Originally located in an upper room of Karthik's house, the temple displayed pictures and statues of Rajinikanth. However, this year, as a tribute to Rajinikanth's 74th birthday, a new 3-foot tall, 300 kg statue inspired by the actor's character in Mappillai has replaced the previous statue. Special prayers and rituals have been planned to mark the occasion.

While speaking to ANI, Karthik shared his excitement and shared, "To commemorate Rajinikanth's 74th birthday, a new 3-foot tall, 300 kg statue of the superstar has been unveiled. Last year, in October, a statue of Rajinikanth was installed and worshipped. Now, a new statue has been created."

Speaking about the celebrations at the temple, Karthik added, "Today, special abhishekam rituals were performed for the new statue. A few months ago, Rajinikanth's PRO contacted us to inquire about the temple. We are now waiting for an invitation from Rajinikanth to visit him and receive his blessings. Happy Birthday, Thalaiva!"

Rajinikanth, known as Thalaiva (leader) by his fans, is one of the most beloved and influential actors in Indian cinema. With a career spanning over four decades, he has appeared several films including Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Hindi, and English. His larger-than-life persona, unique style, and memorable characters have earned him a massive fan base, making him a cultural icon not just in South India but worldwide.
