Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled a 112-foot Deity Shiva statue in Coimbatore on the occasion of Mahashivratri. The statue is dedicated to Adiyogi, which is a form of Deity Shiva. It was funded by Isha foundation, which was founded by the Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev.
In the ceremony Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev was wearing a shawl with Deity Shiva’s picture printed on it. He felicitated Honourable PM Narendra Modi with a similar shawl.
Since the shawl reached below the knees of both the wearers, this has resulted into denigration of Deity Shiva. Hence it has hurt the sentiments of Hindus.
Below are a few pictures from the ceremony only to show the inappropriate use of Deity images :
